What can be done to keep COVID-19 in check in county jails? And how are their needs different from those of state prisons? On tonight's show, we look at these high-risk environments, where social distancing is virtually impossible. We'll hear from the Director of Prison Health and at San Francisco Jail and a formerly incarcerated person who is now a criminal justice advocate.
At the top of the hour, we'll have a coronavirus update from health and medical experts, and we'll also hear about how one local theater company, ACT, is handling what it's calling this "long intermission."
