COVID cases jump at RSW Jail – Policy changes announced

Published

on

The RSW Regional Jail has 60 cases of COVID-19 within the facility. The individuals have been quarantined as well as any affected housing units. Quarantined inmates and any inmate experiencing symptoms are being closely monitored and treated by the medical staff.

In addition, we have initiated COVID-19 protocols, which include temporarily suspending all programs and closing the lobby to the general public. Inmate visitation must be conducted remotely during this time. The closure of the lobby does not limit access to attorneys and professional visitors.

Inmates are provided masks and cleaning supplies daily, and staff is required to wear masks while working in the facility. Newly incarcerated inmates are screened and housed separately from general population inmates until cleared. Vaccinations and booster vaccinations have been and continue to be offered to the inmates and are administered by the Health Department monthly.
