BRUNSWICK, Ga. – The Glynn County Detention Center currently has seven inmates who have tested positive for COVID-19. “This is the most we have ever had at one time and just shy of the total number we have had since the start of the pandemic,” said Glynn County Undersheriff Ron Corbett. Corbett said inmates who test positive or have COVID-19 symptoms are isolated in a housing unit separate from others and are quarantined. The Detention Center’s 24 inmates who were in the immediate proximity of those who tested positive are being isolated in-place. Corbett said they were tested at the same time as the seven positive inmates were tested, but they all tested negative.

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Monday refused to block the execution of four federal prison inmates who are scheduled to be put to death in July and August. The executions would mark the first use of the death penalty on the federal level since 2003. The justices rejected an appeal from four inmates who were convicted of killing children. The court's action leaves no obstacles standing in the way of the executions, the first of which is scheduled for July 13. The inmates are separately asking a federal judge in Washington to impose a new delay on their executions over other legal issues that have yet to be resolved.
