Whoa, whoa, whoa. This isn’t already a thing? Forget Covid-19, why isn’t this a given?

Are they bumping up the prices at the commissary?

I imagine this is probably a case of “If we grant this one request, we have to grant all requests… and fuuuuuuck setting that precedent!”

If you let him out because there’s a risk of coronavirus, you have to let them all out.

Perhaps R. Kelly’s best way to get out of jail would be to INTENTIONALLY catch the coronavirus, before demanding a jury trial for “civil rights violations.”

Too soon for piss jokes?

One would think the prison GUARDS would be among the people demanding that prisoners get basic hygiene considerations. Even if they don’t care about the wellbeing of the prisoners, who would want to spend all their time surrounded by unwashed people even in ordinary times, let alone during a disease pandemic?
