On this day, a prisoner has finished serving their sentence and is waiting to be released. Before their release, their results from the prison clinic return and confirm that they have Tuberculosis. If the person is released from prison they're going to directly infect and kill seven other people through Tuberculosis, but if it's decided that the person should be isolated, it would have to be in prison with the other infected inmates to avoid the chance of spreading the disease through transporting the person. Due to the isolation with infected inmates, the person will never get better and will die in prison. Should we let the person go and infect and kill seven people? Or do we isolate the person in prison, effectively killing the prisoner even though the person has already served their time?
