Our thoughts are with the man's loved ones. Like the first death, there's much we don't know - but the answer over whether Nebraska can be doing more to manage this outbreak in our dangerously overcrowded prisons is an undeniable and unequivocal yes.https://twitter.com/ketvlincoln/status/1318325238590033922 …
Months ago, we urged a targeted release beginning with the most vulnerable people in our jails and prisons. As our legal director said - "No judge sentenced any of these folks to face a substantial risk of death." Gov. Ricketts called it a non-starter.https://www.aclunebraska.org/en/press-releases/aclu-calls-release-those-most-vulnerable-virus …
You can't social distance in prison, but managing this virus is easier when crowding is less severe. Colorado dropped its jail population nearly 50%. It's proof you can quickly and safely reduce jail and prison populations when there's will to do it.https://www.csindy.com/news/local/aclu-praises-sheriffs-for-reducing-jail-populations/article_43917af6-0d74-11eb-b3d0-bbb2cb4d2844.html …
We can't wait any longer. We need to address dangerous levels of overcrowding. Tell Gov. Ricketts it's time Nebraska gets serious on this.

And final thought - Let's not lose sight of the fact the man who died was imprisoned for drug possession. People who struggle with addiction need treatment, not prison. Period. It's past time we stop criminalizing things that need a public health response.
