Community says thank you to MDOC workers

Tuesday, a group gathered outside the state prison in Muskegon to say thank you to correction officers that are working to keep inmates safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some prisons have become hot spots for the virus because inmates are in close quarters, which makes it easier for infection to spread. In Michigan, 2,048 inmates have tested positive for coronavirus and 291 Department of Corrections workers also have the virus.
