BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background:
The Center for Disease Control (CDC), in partnership with the Department of Justice (DOJ), is providing financial assistance to Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) recipients to respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in confinement facilities within their jurisdictions. For the purposes of this guidance, the term “confinement facilities” includes adult prisons and jails; juvenile confinement facilities; police lockups; and community confinement facilities as defined by 28 CFR § 115.5. State recipients must support units of local government within their jurisdiction to reach the fullest complement of confinement facilities in the state. To meet the need to combat COVID-19 in confinement facilities, CDC in partnership with DOJ will assist ELC recipients in responding to COVID-19 in confinement facilities. ELC recipients should familiarize themselves with and incorporate elements from the CDC guidance on the Management of COVID-19 in Correctional and Detention Facilities when developing workplans and budgets for this award.
ADPH will be distributing $12,078,500.00 in subawards to Alabama. Baldwin County’s subrecipient award formula is calculated by the incarcerated population divided by the total state incarcerated population.
