Prisons and jails do not have adequate health care facilities to treat the serious complications that can accompany #coronavirus. We need massive economic relief for all of those affected, which has to include people impacted by our criminal justice system. #COVID19 #FreeAndSafe

See the faces and read the stories of people who have #COVID19 behind bars, have passed away, are still fighting to go home, and are navigating the criminal justice system in the community during this pandemic.

Tina carries her phone wherever she goes in case her incarcerated daughter, Latoy, calls her. Since the Missouri Department of Corrections suspended visitation during the #COVID19 pandemic, Tina has to be ready to answer if her daughter calls. news.stlpublicradio.org/post/prison-vi…

The #coronavirus crisis is not over. As cases and hospitalizations continue to rise across the country, people in the criminal justice system are especially at risk. Incarcerated people can’t social distance in crowded, unhygienic facilities. fwd.us/criminal-justi…

Over 120,000 people have died in the US because of #COVID19 & people in the criminal justice system are especially at risk. Incarcerated people can’t live/eat/exercise in safety. They don’t have access to necessary hygiene & cleaning supplies, & lack basic medical care.

This #FathersDay, we’re reminded of the families who will be celebrating without their fathers, husbands, and sons. We’re also thinking of all those who came home from prisons, jails, and detention centers this past year & have the chance to celebrate with their families.

The impact of coronavirus on individuals who are involved in the criminal justice system is devastating and worsens existing consequences. This impact extends to their families and to communities. Nearly half of the adults in America have had a family member incarcerated.

Manafort released. But Yusef still locked up. He's served 25 years. Been in since he was 16. He's 41 now. Should have been resentenced 5 years ago. Lost 4 friends already to COVID, now running rampant in Michigan prisons. Highest death toll in country. Why is he still in prison?
Manafort released. But Anthony Swain still jailed pretrial in Miami jail on bail he can't afford. Been there for 3 years. Not convicted. Now positive for COVID. Paraplegic. Now hospitalized. Why is he still in jail?
Manafort released early. But Sue Farrell, who already served 30 years, suffocated to death as friends banged on the cells to get the attention of the guards to no avail. For her, nothing. Why was she still in prison?
Black and Brown people dying at higher rates #coronavirus due to a confluence of issues all created by white supremacy and capitalism. Follow:
People with underlying health conditions are more vulnerable. Black & Brown people have higher rates of diabetes, heart conditions, asthma etc due to lack of access to healthcare that was privatized, healthy food but more exposure to poor environmental conditions #coronavirus
To be safe from COVID-19 people need to practice social distancing and self-quarantine. Black and Brown people can’t. They live in overcrowded housing due to high housing costs caused by greed and failure to have a right to housing in the US #coronavirus
