The Federal Bureau of Prisons ordered a national lockdown amid civil unrest in cities across the country over the death of George Floyd.
The federal Bureau of Prisons has ordered a national lockdown amid civil unrest in cities across the country in a move that resembled the agency's most severe restrictions at its facilities in 25 years.
Officials stressed that this week's lockdown was not prompted by inmate actions, which in 1995 sparked a series of riots at several federal prisons across the system. "There has been loss," Carvajal said."Those deaths affect us deeply. The losses are difficult to accept."Story continuesVirus springs Manafort: Ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort released from prison amid coronavirus pandemicAs of Tuesday, prison officials reported that 1,650 inmates and 171 staffers had been infected.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said both cases"highlighted how we have two separate justice systems" in the United States, noting that just 2% of the federal prison population had been approved for home confinement. "America still lives in the shadow of its original sin, slavery," Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said. Durbin said the prison system's method for evaluating the risk posed by inmates underscored racial disparities. He said 7% of black inmates were classified as posing a minimal risk to the public compared with 30%of white prisoners.
