The order of the facilities next in line for testing is still being worked out. PSD is also working with DOH and the Hawaii National Guard to coordinate the testing of correctional officers and staff.
The outbreak at the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC) is contained. There are no new positive results to report today for staff or inmates. There are currently no inmates hospitalized. Over 96% of all inmates who tested positive have recovered. Total PSD staff recoveries increased to 77.
• The inmate releases directed through the Hawaii Supreme Court (HSC) orders are on-
going. There were no new releases for 9/21/20.
• All transports to court from all Oahu facilities are suspended through Friday, October 2.
Video hearings will still be accommodated to the extent possible and as legally
permissible. PSD is in constant contact with the Judiciary to assure the safety of all
staff and inmates involved.
