* The number of patients under observation referred to the number of confirmed and symptomatic COVID-19 patients in DOC facilities, excluding hospitalizations. CHS stopped
reporting the number of patients under observation on August 3rd, 2020. When the metric was developed, it was based on the number of people in housing areas with a COVID-19
designation. Because the spread of coronavirus in the jails has slowed, contagious disease units are no longer guaranteed to solely contain patients who have been diagnosed with,
symptomatic, or exposed to the virus. As such, this metric is no longer an appropriate proxy for the number of infectious cases. To estimate the total number of current infectious
cases in the jail, subtract metric 3 from metric 2 in CHS’s Local Law 59 report.
** This metric includes hospitalized patients.
*** The number of CHS patient deaths does not include patients who may have been diagnosed and treated while in custody and died post-release.

Number of Currently Incarcerated Patients with Confirmed COVID-19March 17 - August 21, 2020
16
CHS and DOC report the cumulative total of staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19. CHS does not report the cumulative total of incarcerated people who
have tested positive for COVID-19; therefore, it would be inappropriate to compare staff totals to the number of currently incarcerated patients with COVID-19 in slide 8.

Percentage of People in Custody in Housing Areas with a COVID-19 DesignationMarch 16 – August 21, 2020
1 DOC uses three COVID-19-related housing designations: (1) one for likely exposed but asymptomatic individuals, (2) one for exposed and symptomatic individuals, and (3) one for confirmed
COVID-19 patients. Individuals housed in confirmed and symptomatic housing may include people who have refused testing, and those who are housed in the Communicable
Disease Units (CDU) for non-COVID reasons. People housed in CDUs share no communal space. The total number of people in custody with confirmed active infections can be
found in CHS’s COVID-19 Data Snapshots, which are posted on the CHS homepage.
SOURCES: BOC analysis of daily DOC updates to BOC & DOC Inmates in Custody File, automated daily pull from the DOC Inmate Information System (IIS) at 11:00am
and housing areas for exposed but asymptomatic individuals, confirmed COVID-19 patients, and symptomatic patients reported by DOC for the previous day as of 4:30pm.

Dorm Cell
Number and Percent of Open Cell and Dorm Units Above and Below 50% CapacityAugust 20, 2020
NOTES:
1) On Thursday December 17th, DOC provided the Board with data on the designed capacity of jail housing areas. Designed capacity reflects the maximum number of beds each
housing area was designed to accommodate. DOC believes this metric serves as the best available proxy for housing area size. Accordingly, the capacity figures presented
above are calculated by dividing housing area census by housing area designed capacity.
2) Dorm count includes modular dorm units in AMKC, RMSC, and RNDC.
3) This analysis excludes Contagious Disease Units (CDUs) (where people in custody share no communal space), intake areas (where the census changes throughout the day), and the
Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward (BHPW).

housing area was designed to accommodate. DOC believes this metric serves as the best available proxy for housing area size. Accordingly, the capacity figures presented
above are calculated by dividing housing area census by housing area designed capacity.
2) General Population units have fewer staffing needs than more specialized housing units such as PACE or MO units and present an opportunity to lower housing density to facilitate social distancing.
3) This analysis excludes Contagious Disease Units (CDUs) (where people in custody share no communal space), intake areas (where the census changes throughout the day), and the
Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward (BHPW).
