URGENT: Protect people living and working behind bars from COVID-19

COVID-19 is ripping through our prison system and risking the lives of everyone inside.

The rules and instructions we’re all being asked to follow to stay safe aren't viable in prisons and jails— social distancing, the use of hand sanitizer, and frequent hand washing aren't possible. A pandemic can turn a prison sentence into a death sentence. 

We're already seeing the consequences of inaction. 8 of the top 10 COVID-19 hotspots in the country are linked to prisons and jails. Tens of thousands of incarcerated people, officers, and correctional staff across the country have tested positive for the virus. Tragically, dozens more have died from it.

It's critical for states to take immediate action by adopting the SAFER plan. We wrote this plan with bi-partisan advocates and medical experts. If followed, this plan will save lives.

Sign this petition if you agree that public officials should adopt our SAFER plan to protect people in the criminal justice system from the virus.,,
