Association of Jail Decarceration and Anticontagion Policies With COVID-19 Case Growth Rates in US Counties

Résumé

To date, however, policy interventions intended to achieve epidemic mitigation in US communities have neglected to account for decarceration as a possible means of protecting public health and safety.
