Island Conversations #68–COVID-19 jail releases, with County Prosecutor Mitch Roth

The island’s (and the state’s) prisons and jails are overcrowded, and even under normal circumstances, that’s not good–but with the potential of spreading COVID-19, it could be deadly and also overstress our island’s hospitals.  County Prosecutor Mitch Roth talks with host Sherry Bracken about how the court system has changed because of COVID-19 and what the status is of jail and prison releases. Air date: April 12, 2020
