#Repost @verainstitute • • • • • • Man #Repost @verainstitute • • • • • • Many jails and prisons have substandard health facilities ill-equipped to handle a growing pandemic. As we find solutions to the COVID-19 outbreak, we cannot leave behind people in our justice system who stand at a greater risk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "It is not a matter of if, but when, coronavirus shows up in courts, jails, detention centers, prisons, and other places where the work of the criminal and immigration systems occur. Actors in these systems have a unique and critical role to play. The importance of this role is underscored by how vast the footprint of these systems is—almost 10.5 million arrests a year, 2.2 million people in jail and prison at any given time, 50,000 in immigration detention, and another 4.5 million under some form of criminal justice supervision on probation or parole." - From policy brief released in partnership from Vera Institute and Community Oriented Correctional Health Services, released 3.18.20 #covid_19 #endmassincarceration
