State prisons in New York are finding ways to motivate inmates to get their COVID-19 vaccinations by offering incentives like barbecues, care packages and conjugal visits.
The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) told The New York Post they are doing “everything possible to encourage incarcerated individuals” to get vaccinated, and a total of 34,000 inmates have been given the chance to win certain prizes or rewards for being vaccinated.
