   San Quentin State Prison fined for deadly #COVID-19 conditions that lead to 29 deaths
   
   The bad thing about fines for state agencies is that they'll just take it out of taxpayers' wallets. Perhaps #Cal-OSHA lacks the ability to pursue criminal penalties, but #Cal-DOJ doesn't.

     I remember reading about Chino Prison's outbreak ... and moving supposedly well inmates to other prisons to escape the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus infection.

     > One state lawmaker called it the most deadly medical mistake in the history of the California prison system. In all, 199 inmates have died statewide among more than 48,000 who tested positive for coronavirus.

     > California corrections officials ignored the warnings of front-line health workers and pressured them to hastily transfer 189 potentially coronavirus-infected inmates from a Chino men’s prison last May, triggering a deadly outbreak of COVID-19 at San Quentin State Prison, the state watchdog reported Monday.

     From 2020-MAY, they were planning to ship 700 inmates to different prisons, so they wouldn't be in Chino, where the worst outbreak was at the time.
