In their submissions this month, Goettsche and Weeks argue they are unable to follow medical advice in jail because hand sanitizer is a controlled substance, and inmates are frequently in close proximity to one another. Weeks added that Essex County already has an "exceptionally poor record of maintaining detainee health" and that its measures to prevent a coronavirus outbreak did little to protect the health of inmates.
