Read this. Read it again. On May 5, 2 cruel federal appellate judges, more concerned about inconveniencing a city jail by requiring them to provide basic sanitation & health to people in jail, let them off the hook. 9 days later, 481 tested positive. 41% of total population.
By May 5, 2020, the date of the decision, Charles Hobbs had already died. Suffocated on the floor of COVID-only cell. Ignored. 163 people had already tested positive. And the jail had already ignored the earlier court order requiring them to provide soap. miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
On May 11, 2020, a few days after the federal appeals court cruel decision in Swain v. Junior, Anthony Swain, *the named plaintiff* in the same lawsuit, a 43 y/o paraplegic man, jailed pretrial for 4 years on a drug offense, tested positive. Hospitalized. miaminewtimes.com/news/anthony-s…
Anthony Swain was then sent back to jail. Now in isolation in a bed that isn't ADA compliant, w/o access to a shower, being told by guards he should just defecate on himself. Yesterday, a judge denied his emergency request for release. Stuck on $85k. Help:gofundme.com/f/bring-anthon…
