U.S. prisons face staff shortages as officers quit amid COVID

At a Georgia state House of Representatives hearing on prison conditions in September, a corrections officer called in to testify, interrupting his shift to tell lawmakers how dire conditions had become. 

On a “good day,” he told lawmakers, he had maybe six or seven officers to supervise roughly 1,200 people. He said he had recently been assigned to look after 400 prisoners by himself. There weren’t enough nurses to provide medical care.

    Easy solution. We don't need more tax eater staff. Execute all the worst offenders to reduce the inmate population. I'm tired of feeding and housing so many.

    Of course that'd be racist. That's what makes it win-win.

    All part of the plan. I guess they didn't release enough criminals on us last winter when they were emptying prisons due to Covid. Then they wonder why crime is skyrocketing.
