Your source directly contradicts your claim

> prisoners have been digging graves on Hart Island for years

This isn’t really COVID related. Additionally, they are digging graves not necessarily burying bodies.

> is offering prisoners at Rikers Island jail $6 per hour... and personal protective equipment

So they get paid and have personal protective equipment.
