The ACLU’s Cynthia Roseberry’s response (Letters, Aug. 11) to Sean Kennedy’s “You’re More Likely to Catch Covid at Home Than in Jail” (op-ed, July 25) is disingenuous. She says 93,600 inmates have tested positive, with 790 deaths. My math makes that a 0.84% death rate. Her state of Washington has 63,072 cases and 1,688 deaths, which is a 2.67% death rate. Those statistics don’t indicate that being incarcerated is less safe.
