Michigan inmate close to release died from COVID-19. |
Garrison passed away unexpectedly after another intern found him gasping for air at the Macomb Facility in Michigan.
Garrison's sister Yolanda Peterson said her brother repended after he was sentenced to LIFE in the iron college during a home invasion in 1976.
He was re-sentenced to a lengthy bid after the U.S. Supreme Court banned LIFE terms for underage suspects in 2018.
The intern qualified for the early release program before the outbreak began. He turned it down to serve out the sentence and walk out a "free man."
Garrison was one of 17 state prisoners who died of the COVID-19.
Michigan has one of the largest cases of the coronavirus in the Midwest. The states of Washington, Florida, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana and Massachusetts has record amounts of death.
So far in the United States, we have over 50,000 deaths from the coronavirus and nearly 1 million people who were infected by the virus.

Again, no one is spared from this. Me, LeReyna, our contributors, our readers, our families, our friends, our acquaintances and people across the world could die from this.
Here's the map.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.
1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this.
