BREAKING: The Connecticut Department of Correction has announced the first death from COVID-19 of a person incarcerated by the State of Connecticut. Today, the DOC's COVID-19 chart also indicates the number of cases has nearly tripled, from 61 on Friday to 166 this afternoon.
This man did not have to die. His death was entirely preventable, and it is the direct result of callous inaction by Governor Lamont & the Department of Correction, including their refusal to institute a real plan to release people and decision not to fully fund reentry support.
The State of Connecticut has a constitutional, moral, and ethical responsibility to protect public health by releasing incarcerated people to prevent them from contracting COVID-19, especially people who are most vulnerable.
For more than a month, Governor Lamont and the DOC have been warned that their inaction was placing people in harm’s way.
Until the State of Connecticut decides to protect incarcerated people from COVID-19 by urgently, safely releasing them, more people will die in Connecticut prisons and jails, more DOC workers will get sick, and families will be left grieving entirely preventable deaths.
The courts did not sentence people to suffer and die in a pandemic. Connecticut needs to act NOW to protect public health by swiftly releasing people. Our full statement:https://www.acluct.org/en/press-releases/aclu-connecticut-reacts-first-death-covid-19-person-incarcerated-state-connecticut …
