description On March 18, 2020, Baltimore City MD State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby sent a letter to Governor Larry Hogan urging him to take Emergency action to close Courthouses throughout the State, and to develop decarceral guidelines for the state's prisons and jails. In the letter, SA Mosby offers her full support for the Governor and states that "with so many lives on the line, there are steps the Governor's office can take to mitigate the spread of the virus behind prison walls." An outbreak in prison or jails could potentially be catastrophic. Experts have reported that "Maryland jails are incubators for the coronavirus and precautions must be taken lo avoid an outbreak". According to the Center for Disease Control, the elderly and people with underlying medical conditions are more susceptible to falling severely ill with COVID-19.
