If you end up in a county jail, chances are you’re not having the greatest of days to begin with. Inmates who found themselves behind the bars of the Bergen County jail in New Jersey got a little more than they bargained for this week when a handful of them came down with the mumps.
The bizarre outbreak has prompted officials to issue a quarantine of the entire facility while doctors try to isolate those who have the infectious virus. Doctors working with the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office believe five inmates have been infected thus far but are awaiting test results before issuing an official number.
