Unprotected in Prison: Pleas for Help from the Inside
Description (Dublin Core)
As covid-19 spread across the nation it's inmates began expressing their fear of dying. The living situation inside prisons and other similar facilities, like jails and detention centers, make social distancing impossible and right now frequent hand washing, and wearing a mask are the only tools the world has to combat the virus.
Prisoner's and their advocates state that a prison sentence should not be turned into a death sentence.
In this phone interview and article published by ACLU Smart Justice Michigan, inmate, Quentin X Betty, shares his fear of dying and the reality that employees and the prison do not see inmates as humans with a right to life.
