随着萨克拉门托县监狱病例激增，倡导人士呼吁释放有感染新冠病毒风险的囚犯
These releases would not include the most violent and dangerous inmates.
这些释放不会包括最暴力和最危险的囚犯。
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The omicron surge is straining area jails, and some community advocates are now calling for some inmates to be released.
加州，萨克拉门托——omicron的激增使该地区的监狱不堪重负，一些社区倡导者现在呼吁释放一些囚犯。
COVID-19 cases more than doubled in two days at the Sacramento County Jail downtown, according to a reliable law enforcement source. On Jan. 5, there were 27 cases, and on Monday, Jan. 10, that number rose to 35, according to county officials.
根据可靠的执法消息来源，市中心萨克拉门托县监狱的COVID-19病例在两天内增加了一倍以上。据县官员说，1月5日，有27例病例，1月10日周一，这一数字上升到35例。
The source told ABC10 that number jumped to more than 80 Wednesday, Jan. 12, and dozens of inmates were relocated to the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center.
该消息人士告诉ABC10，1月12日周三，这一数字跃升至80多人，数十名囚犯被转移到里约热内卢Cosumnes惩教中心。
That information has not officially been confirmed by the sheriff’s office, which deferred questions to the public health department. Officials there say they are working to confirm this information and will have details to share at a later time.
这一信息尚未得到治安官办公室的正式确认，治安官办公室将问题交由公共卫生部门处理。那里的官员说，他们正在努力确认这一信息，稍后将公布细节。
The Sacramento County Public Defenders Office also said they are gathering information, adding that the surge in COVID-19 in the community has negatively impacted all levels of the criminal justice system.
萨克拉门托县公共辩护律师办公室也表示，他们正在收集信息，并补充说，社区中COVID-19的激增对各级刑事司法系统产生了负面影响。
Jamilia Land and her husband Samual Brown are advocates to end involuntary servitude. Brown was released from prison 20 days ago after serving 24 years for attempted murder. During that time, he earned a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Los Angeles.
贾米莉亚·兰德和她的丈夫萨穆尔·布朗是结束非自愿奴役的倡导者。布朗20天前从监狱获释，此前他因谋杀未遂而服刑24年。在此期间，他获得了加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的学士学位。
He says experiencing a COVID outbreak and being locked down in such a crowded, confined place was terrifying and detrimental to inmates’ physical and mental health and rehabilitation.
他说，经历COVID的爆发，被关在这样一个拥挤、封闭的地方是可怕的，对囚犯的身心健康和康复有害。
“It’s counterproductive to rehabilitation and fighting against the pandemic," Brown said. "So if they really want to do something, they’ll figure out a way to (do so), not only for people to get the programming they need but to actually look at releasing people. Because people are stacked on top of each other, and it’s a recipe for disaster."
布朗说:“这不利于康复和抗击疫情。”因此，如果他们真的想做点什么，他们会找到一种方法(这样做)，不要拿程序手续做推脱，要为了真正考虑释放人们。
Land added people tend to forget that prisoners are people, too.
兰德补充说，人们往往忘记囚犯也是人。
“When we dehumanize someone and reduce them to less than a human being on our societal value scale, we become more apt to to treating them in cruel fashions and discarding them as a whole population,” Land said.
兰德说:“当我们把一个人非人化，在我们的社会价值尺度上把他们贬得比人还低时，我们就会更倾向于残忍地对待他们，把他们作为一个整体抛弃。”
Land and Brown say they are advocating for the release of inmates who may be at the highest risk of COVID-19 complications. This would not include the most violent and dangerous inmates.
兰德和布朗表示，他们正在倡导释放可能面临COVID-19并发症最高风险的囚犯。这并不包括最暴力和最危险的囚犯。
Meanwhile, there is no word from county or state officials if there could be an expedited release of eligible inmates as seen in 2020 and part of 2021.
与此同时，县或州官员没有透露是否会像2020年和2021年部分时间那样加快释放符合条件的囚犯。
