The Guard members are working in control pods inside the prison and do not have contact with any inmates, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prison has had five staff members test positive for COVID-19, with three having recovered, according to data provided by the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2019\/08\/12\/indiana-guard-commander-resigns-amid-defamation-lawsuit-and-affair-allegations\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5006609.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Indiana Guard commander resigns amid defamation lawsuit and affair allegations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Maj.

He said the Indiana Department of Correction was not releasing to the number of deployed units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state agency said units from both Indiana\u2019s Army and Air national guards have been deployed to state prisons since May because of the coronavirus outbreak, <a
