Name not reported
This person was one of six people who died of COVID-19 complications while held at the California Institution for Men in Chino, according to attorneys with the Prison Law Office in a court filing. The attorneys said the group had serious medical conditions or factors such as age that made them especially vulnerable, and that most or all of them lived in dormitories when they became ill. They also said prison officials and a court-appointed receiver rejected a request to move high-risk people to other housing. These are the attorneys' claims, and the prison's response is not reported in the article.
