Hard to Know Whether Official Impunity Will Apply Here, or Not

Virginia's Attorney General wants to investigate a regional jail.

On the one hand, the system desperately wants immunity for all actors when a prisoner or someone else who is regarded to be of no value dies.

On the other hand, this jail is run by a contractor, and this may allow some politician or other to grandstand by ritually punishing that contractor.

I'm not sure how this will play out.
