  1. Many prisoners are dieing of Covid19 every day. This includes people awaiting trial. Who are innocent until proven guilty. The medical care is stretched thin and prevented measures are few and far inbetween and hospitals are filling up. Many more mother's, father's, daughters, sons, and families will die in the criminal justice system unless we write our governor's and parole boards in each state.

    Let us as one voice speak the truth of what's going on inside the prisons. As family's of inmates and past inmates that have been released. Please make people aware of maltreatment and lack of medical care for inmates. This includes correctional workers who don't have enough PPE and are afraid of contracting Covid-19. who's protocols keep changing creating unsafe situations for the prisoners and the gaurds. please post and make videos and write your governor's and politicians. Those who are incarcerated cannot speak up for themselves and those who have died wrongfully will have a voice. In Utah the elderly unit of 28 men. Have already had twelve of them die and more to come 😢 https://youtu.be/RgtoW4ZmuJQ

    Before Covid19 got into the section were most who died lived. I wrote the parole board on behalf of all of them and told them. They would die if they didn't do something and nothing changed. No attempts to move them to a medical facility or reduce the numbers. They just waited for the after math and placed them all in close proximity. All the health compromised. which include terminal cancer patients, blind men, dementia, and fragile people. Some couldn't even walk properly without assistance. They left behind children and loved ones. with no apology or compassion for the families even while a virus was killing people and they knew what would happen if the workers brought it in.

    I was also part an article in Utah by the Deseret News

    I have not seen or hugged my father in almost a year now, because of the prison lock down in Utah. They think the new zoom type calls fix's the situation. It doesn't even take away the suffering of those who waited each night for a phone call that their loved one was dead. No compassion

  2. That's crazy how she said, "They're afraid of them spreading it outside." Girl the inmates are LOCKED UP. How are they getting it, should be the question. The correction officers should becareful NOT to spread it inside the prisons and jails. Although I sincerely believe they should have access to soap, water, sanitizer, and masks , I also believe they must pay the consequences for what they have done.

  3. So 2600 inmates infected nationwide out of 2,000,000 inmates nationwide = .13%

    If the title said .13% of inmates have contracted the virus would it change anyone’s perception?

  4. Don’t care. They’re people need to be in jail their full sentences. They don’t need to be let loose on unsuspecting law abiding citizens.

  5. Y'all people are cruel they are still people. They are still human. but I guess people should die over petty charger .You people are cruel.

  6. “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

    Matthew 25:44‭-‬46 NIV

  7. I dont know how the inmates can get corona virus if no one ever leaves the prison? Are the governments allowing it in somewhere?

  8. ITS A PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!! bad people who did bad things to innocent people(people found guilty in a court of law)….lock all the doors and lock every inmate in there cell and turn off all water and power and evacuate the staff and leave them in there cells or cell blocks to die. Its not like its a fluffy unicorn bunny farm…..take every cell and door key with the last staff out and walk away. Are they human???? yes….do they matter???? kinda yes, but currently we need to save those we can and not waste things of people who committed crimes like murder and rape. Post guards on the outside to shoot anybody who try's to get out, if they do. Save the lives of staff and forget the monsters inside the cells. Its karma for all the people they hurt on the outside.

  9. What about pre-trial inmates who are innocent until proven guilty? They make up over 50% of jail and prison populations alone! Why aren't they allowed to practice social distancing at home?

  10. And the sad part is they need to be in somebody's hospital….this is sad they all don't DESERVE to suffer. Then the staff gonna take it home. 😲 plz help God

  11. I would have supported mass release a month ago. Now they are all infected and will come home and infect the rest of us. Releasing inmates is very dangerous at this point. All they have to do is get rid of the 3 strikes law and that would drastically reduce the population, which is unconstitutional under double jeopardy laws
