Bessemer, Ala. – Alabama Bail Bonds, a bail bond company in Bessemer, AL, is very concerned that many prisons and bail bond companies in Reform, AL are ill-prepared to manage and prevent the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, from spreading. Each state across the country has taken different approaches to protecting the health and safety of inmates in their prisons.
The Alabama Department of Corrections is working on a plan to contain Coronavirus in the state prison system with the governor's COVID-19 task force. In a worst-case scenario, the National Guard would need to be involved in the process to stem the spread and maintain organization.
DOC Commissioner, Jefferson Dunn, stated, "The number one thing on my mind is safety, is trying our best to prevent the virus from getting into the facilities, and then mitigating the impact."
The massive overcrowding and understaffing have made it very difficult to effectively manage the Coronavirus pandemic. The inability for Alabama prisons to effectively manage the spread could cause widespread infection between both inmates and staff.
Thankfully, at this time, the positive COVID-19 cases in state prisons have been relatively low. The usage of protective medical materials such as gloves and masks, elimination of visits and hearings and other factors have undeniably played a part in this low infection and death rate. Bail bond agents in Bessemer, AL believe that even though the situation is uncertain in Alabama’s prisons, the steps taken have been helpful, even if in a small way.
