When I had this conversation with the @NewYorker a couple days ago, no one in my dad’s prison had tested positive.
Now they have. Time is of the essence.
This pandemic made it clearer than ever that mass incarceration must end. Public health & public safety depend on it.

Name names my man. Time to call out Cuomo and Newsom directly. When these deaths come – and come they will to both prisoners and staff – they will be on the governors who could have used their reprieve power or commutation power and didn't.

Could we hope that at the end of the coronavirus catastrophe that the incarceration industry and all who support it will be discredited and vilified.

I sympathize ... this must be deeply stressful for you. A justice system must not allow a prison sentence to become a death sentence, yet that's what neglect of this issue, by the authorities, comes down to. It's like withholding food. The individuals in charge are culpable.

If someone has been in prison for, e.g., 10 years and is scheduled to be there for 5 years more, the authorities have a choice of commuting that sentence or changing it to a death sentence. That's in effect what the official choice to neglect boils down to. And they know it.
