Dear friend,
We know that the coronavirus outbreak is a frightening and stressful
time for all. It is especially frightening for people in prison and
their loved ones. Almost all prisons and jails have canceled visits,
which will be hard for families.
First, I want you to know that FAMM is working with federal and state
lawmakers to find ways to release people from prison who are most at
risk from the coronavirus. We have been warning for years that our
prisons are overfilled, especially with elderly and sick people who
pose little threat to public safety. Now these people are most at
risk. We will keep you posted on our efforts to secure early releases.
Second, we want your help in making policymakers aware of the unique
danger posed to people in prison. Please contact your state and
federal lawmakers and ask them to urge corrections officials to take
steps to keep incarcerated people safe and healthy during this time.

Third, we expect that many state legislatures will temporarily cease
work - which means that the bills we support will not advance as
quickly as we'd like. FAMM will keep fighting for reform and keep you
updated on the progress of criminal justice reform legislation -
and how you can help.
Finally, here at FAMM, we are working remotely and staying home, doing
our part to reduce the spread of the virus. We encourage you to engage
with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Most importantly, take care of yourself, your loved ones, and your
community; and stay healthy and safe during this time.
Best,
Kevin Ring
President, FAMM
