Road Camp scare does not lead to more testing

   August 31, 2020

Inweekly reported this morning that Escambia County Corrections suspended its inmate road crews after an inmate tested positive for COVID-19.

Apparently the new case didn’t lead to more prisoners being tested at the road. On Friday, the county reported a total 236 Escambia County inmates had been tested. This afternoon, the county reported the year-to-date total increased by one to 237.

According to the report, the one infected at the road camp is the only inmate with the virus throughout the corrections system.
