Group asks Mecklenburg leaders to reduce jail population to prevent spread of virus behind bars

March 17, 2020

On Tuesday, a group of lawyers and community activists urged the parties to move faster and do more to limit arrests. Tim Emry, one of the Charlotte attorney’s involved in the effort, said a 60-year-old man was jailed Monday for urinating in public.

“We want them to double down on their efforts. They are not preventing hundreds of people from coming into this jail,” Emry said.

As a group of community organizers gathered in front of the Mecklenburg County Detention Center in Uptown on Tuesday to call on local law enforcement officials to reduce the local jail population to help curb the spread of COVID-19, those officials were quietly scheduling dozens of inmates to be released.
