“Manatee county jail, which has 1,200 incarcerated people and is located on the south-east side of Tampa Bay, in the path of the hurricane that was roaring towards it across the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, will 🚩not 🚩 be evacuating, a representative of the jail told Newsweek on Tuesday.”

“Multiple jails and prisons in hurricane-hit states have previously failed to evacuate incarcerated people during a natural disaster, despite being located in a mandatory evacuation zone. In South Carolina, at least two prisons were not evacuated during Hurricane Florence in 2018.“ WTF?
