LinkLinksOpinion Karl Racine in The Post: The coronavirus pandemic requires good-faith adjustments to our criminal justice system By Editor On Apr 12, 2020 Last updated Apr 12, 2020 20 Share As the novel coronavirus pandemic grew, those of us in the criminal justice system recognized that the virus, which spreads easily and thrives where there are large concentrations of people in confined spaces, could be catastrophic for the 2.3 million incarcerated people in the United States and those who work in jails and prisons.
