The COVID-19 pandemic initially compelled significant population reductions at county jail facilities. This study uses a unique dataset to: assess changes in jail populations during 2020; relate those changes to the characteristics of the counties where they took place; and examine the relationship between jail populations and COVID-19 outcomes. Findings indicate that jail populations fell sharply through April, but have since risen steadily. However, they remained higher in areas with larger proportions of minoritized populations, and returned to pre-pandemic levels more rapidly in areas with larger proportions of Black and Republican-leaning residents. Larger pre-pandemic jail populations were associated with elevated numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths during 2020. Changes in county jail populations predicted COVID-19 cases and deaths. Specifically, each percentage increase in jail populations was associated with between 80.4 and 101.9 additional cases and 1.2 to 1.4 additional deaths per county over a following three-month period.

fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractThis paper describes how an expandable drilling liner was used to isolate an overpressured gas zone in a well at a depth of over 13700ft. The liner was deployed for a Venezuelan operator in an onshore field. The liner was run below 9-5/8" casing and expanded from 6-5/8" to 9-5/8" thereby retaining hole size and allowing the well to be drilled to TD without a change in the original casing design.
