Infected individuals from prisons

COVID-19 infected individuals from prisons, classified by male and female. The risk of contracting COVID-19 through three factors: (1) high-risk groups, (2) high-risk locations, and (3) high-risk activities. It is found that prisoners are a group exposed to all three risk factors. That is, they have the opportunity to be exposed to high-risk groups, which may refer to staff, visitors, or even fellow prisoners who have just arrived, who, despite screening processes, may have the opportunity to come into contact with high-risk individuals due to the long incubation period of the virus. High-risk locations: Due to the conditions of prisons, 60% of prisons in various countries worldwide have a prisoner population exceeding the prison's capacity, or what is called "prison overcrowding." This crowded environment leads to high-risk activities. A large number of prisoners must live together in crowded, confined spaces and share resources. Some prisons lack basic hygiene supplies (such as soap, toothpaste, and shampoo), clean water, and medicine, as well as issues of conflict and violence within prisons. Therefore, social distancing measures and avoiding contact, which are basic infection prevention methods, cannot be applied directly in prisons compared to other locations. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also issued recommendations stating that prisons and detention facilities are areas at risk of rapid spread and should not be overlooked, along with the preparation of a manual for prison staff during the COVID-19 outbreak titled "Preparedness, prevention and control of COVID-19 in prisons and detention facilities" (Preparedness, prevention and control of COVID-19 in prison
