Federal Court decision blasts Bristol County Sheriff's Department COVID-19 testing on ICE Detainees.
The decision is in Case 1:20-cv-10617-WGY (Document 175), in a lawsuit brought against the Superintendent of the Bristol County House of Correction.
The May 12, 2020 decision out of the U.S. District Court in Boston shattered the myth the sheriff's office has been trying to create with respect to its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic among detainees - particularly ICE detainees.
Some notable remarks from the decision:
"...the government’s response likely amounts to deliberate
indifference to a substantial risk of serious harm to the
detainees’ health. "
"...diverse governmental actors see the need for serious thought and actual efforts to release those whose confinement is not worth the cost. In this case, the authorities have displayed the contrary mindset. Where elasticity is vital, they are rigid; where life hangs upon a carefully drawn line, they opt for near blanket incarceration. "
"Even the government’s 'outward' protective duties of custody, those it owes to the public at large, are jeopardized by locking up as many inmates as possible. The virus, if allowed to thrive in the detention centers, will migrate back into our neighborhoods."
The decision also noted a lack of testing of personnel and detainees, as well as lack of contact testing concerning those testing positive.
