- Over half of state prisoners and up to 90% of jail detainees suffer from drug dependence.
- Hepatitis C is nine to 10 times more prevalent in correctional facilities than in communities.
- Chronic health conditions, such as asthma and hypertension, and mental health disorders also affect prisoner populations at rates that far exceed their prevalence in the general population.
- About 40% of all inmates are estimated to have at least one chronic health condition. With a few exceptions, nearly all chronic health conditions are more prevalent among inmates than in the general population. [1]
With that said, the average age is much younger than the general population [2]. Age is by far the biggest factor in outcomes, followed by co-morbidities.

I guess the TL;DR of all of this is, this picture you're talking about is a fallacy premised on bad data
Another data point, ~12k healthy foreign workers in Singapore have tested positive. The city-state has only 12 deaths total (all elderly, not the foreign workers). In Singapore the foreign workers may have already been asymptomatic for weeks.
Based on NYC data, LA city data, Stanford's Santa Clara data, Singapore, Danish blood donor data, a picture is emerging that the virus is not particularly dangerous to healthy people.
