If you are in prison today you are 4 times more likely to become infected with COVID-19, and twice as likely to die. The virus is spreading because prison meals are served in a room with 100 people sitting less than 2 feet apart, and in dormitory prison units bunkbeds are only 3 feet apart. Cleaning supplies, hand soap and facemasks, items public health experts find critical to stopping the spread, are not always available in prisons. With the next COVID-19 surge, conditions will only get worse, and more people will become infected and die. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can be at our side as we work across the country to: - Reduce incarceration levels by expediting the release of elderly people and those at high risk for COVID-19
- Insist that people who remain incarcerated have access to testing and PPE, and can socially distance
- Invest in support services for safe and effective reentry
Can we count on you to help us reduce incarceration and save lives? Thank you so much for your support! Amy |
