Given the inadequate health care delivery system for the incarcerated, some view keeping the incarcerated in prisons and jails during the COVID-19 pandemic as an extension of their existing sentence. A proposed solution is the reduction of incarcerated people in jails and prisons to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Recently, the Committee for Public Counsel Services and the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers filed an emergency petition that calls for the reduction of the number of incarcerated individuals through limiting those who will be taken into custody and releasing those who would be considered high risk for contracting COVID-19, those toward the end of their sentence, and those who do not pose a significant risk to the general population.	./cache/cord-343969-9nec3lj8.txt	./txt/cord-343969-9nec3lj8.txt
