Inmates in California Jail May Have Tried to Get Coronavirus Infection

The Los Angeles County Sheriff says inmates may have tried to give themselves coronavirus infections. Sheriff Alex Villanueva showed surveillance video of inmates sharing a cup, bowl and mask. Why would these men try to get a potentially deadly disease? “There was some mistaken belief among the inmate population if they tested positive that there was a way to force our hand and somehow release more inmates out of our jail environment,” said Villanueva. “And that's not going to happen."
