@CharlotteSunFla Given a worrisome, repeating pattern of late - of horrific consequence arising from the choice not to evacuate folk imprisoned in the path of hurricanes - I'm curious if you have anybody keeping an eye on staff, inmates and events around Charlotte County jail, just now?

Copy of tweet: @CCOEM Inmates and some staff remain at the Charlotte County jail, in the mandatory evacuation and storm surge zone. Can you assure us that necessary steps to support their safety and well being, including adequate food and water, will be taken during and after #HurricaneLan?
@PrisonPolicy "...a reported 7,000 prisoners went days without electricity, trapped in cells filled chest-high with sewage water. "There are deliberate structural reasons behind this: Detention facilities are where government authority is at its highest and individual power is at its lowest.”
