All inmates and staff at the prison are in the process of being tested for COVID-19 with the help of the National Guard. Three staff members are among the 57 positive cases.

Corrections officials completed a mass testing of inmates and staff at each of its 37 prison facilities at the end of July and just nine people tested positive.
