This is not about giving prisoners anything privileged, it's about containing a pandemic.

As far as all the people in prison dying I wouldnt loose much sleep over that anyway, but an outbreak like that could have serious implications.

It's already been touched on but it better for us on the outside if prison populations get vaccinated first.
The last thing anyone needs is for prison outbreaks to result in new untreatable strains.
They're are a lot of people working very hard around the world trying to keep prisons from becoming breeding grounds for killer strains of a bunch diseases.
It's not because they care about prisoners.
No need to have a "compassionate" attitude or be flower power love everybody type.
Treating prisoners first is all about self preservation for those
outside of the prison system.
