RICHMOND – Fort Bend County judge said he’s concerned about plans to send prisoners recovering from coronavirus to part of the Jester prison in Richmond. "I was shocked to find out that the State of Texas has been using Fort Bend County as a dumping ground for convicted criminals with coronavirus," Judge KP George said in a statement. He said the location was chosen because of its proximity to a prison hospital, and the unit was cleared out before the recovering prisoners arrived. "This is a state prison facility. Desel said employees who come into contact with the recovering prisoners will wear protective gear.
