A Broward jail inmate who was being treated for coronavirus has died, underscoring concern over how the pandemic will pose problems for detention facilities across South Florida.

Broward County’s jails, which house more than 3,000 inmates, have had at least five inmates who tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

One of the inmates, Alan Pollock, a 64-year-old convicted sex offender, died at Northwest Medical Center in Margate on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Broward Public Defender’s Office, which represented him.

Pollock, who most recently was held at the North Broward jail in Pompano Beach, was jailed last month, accused of violating probation because he changed his address without permission, records show. The Public Defender’s Office had tried to get Pollock out of jail.
