UpriseRI: Right now RIDOC only updates the public once a week at most on Facebook. So our focus is to support the Department of Corrections’ leadership, help ensure that there isn’t any increase in spread and make sure our inmates and staff remain protected. And RIDOC knows which units it’s acceptable to think through those practices and which are not. We support the RIDOC in the approaches that are taken to help minimize risk of spread. With the transition of the medical director at the RIDOC RIDOH has been working closely to help ensure what’s needed to quell the outbreak there has been taking place. What are your opinions on that?ĭr Nicole Alexander-Scott: We are aware of those thoughts. Dr Jennifer Clarke, the outgoing medical director said that efforts should be taken to reduce the prison population. UpriseRI: With the outbreak at the ACI, people have been calling for lowering the population there.
Questions were also addressed to Dr Nicole Alexander Scott, the director of the Rhode Island Department of Health ( RIDOH). As the Covid pandemic tears though the Adult Correctional Institutions ( ACI) in Cranston, and the advocates for and family members of those incarcerated demand greater efforts to protect residents and workers at these facilities, UpriseRI brought questions from various groups to Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo‘s weekly Covid press briefing.
