How to Release People from Prison to Achieve Public Health Goals during COVID-19: Recommended Principles and Practices*

Description (Dublin Core)

As covid-19 spreads throughout the population of the US several groups have seen it spread rapidly through their population. One such group are inmates at correctional facilities (jails, prison, detention centers). The disease spreads very quickly because social distancing is nearly impossible, facilities are overcrowded, and soap and cleaning supplies are in short supply. Advocates and families argue that it is imperative inmates that are not a threat to the public should be released early or allowed to continue serving their sentences under house arrest. This document was published by Amend. Amend is a University of California San Francisco program that “works to transform correctional culture inside prisons and jails and reduce the debilitating health effects of those environments.”
