@SenJeffMerkley I really hope we are including & considering the impact of COVID & isolation on our 2.3 million US incarcerated citizens, neighbors, loved ones. THEY have been drastically disenfranchised even MORE & denied access to these basic supports that we identify as necessary for humans.
@ColettePeters11 @ORCorrections@ORprisonreport AICs at Snake River have not been able to make outbound phone calls due to an issue with the phone service. This is a reoccurring issue. GIVE US RELIABLE ACCESS TO OUR LOVED ONES, PLEASE!
Inverness Jail is currently experiencing a mass COVID-19 outbreak. Here is information from people locked up inside crucial to understanding the situation.
#InvernessJailOutbreak
@ORCorrections@OregonGovBrown MAYbe its time to reconsider letting people out of our prisons I dont understand how evacuating/displacing over 1000 AICs into already crowded & stressed facilities during a pandemic is a wise decision This isnt how to treat our citizens Its not ok
Is there a reason @ORCorrections is allowing staff to work w/o masks? Introducing #COVID19 into a correctional facility seems extremely irresponsible & results in terror & inhumane conditions for AICs. DO SOMETHING @OregonGovBrown
This was sent to me from a friend who works at Trader Joe. This is NOT social distancing! We need a better way for people to safely get supplies while also protecting the STAFF who has to come in contact with ALL of these people! @OregonGovBrown@tedwheeler
As the economic impact of #covid19 is just starting please consider the high fees associated w/ electronic communications w/ AICs @telmatellc We do not want to create more barriers to connecting w/ our loved ones during these uncertain times. @ColettePeters11 @oregonprisons
Please remember as a nation we have over 2 million incarcerated citizens and loved ones. Plus all of the staff that is responsible for their care. #COVID19 can and will be devastating to this population once it gets into a facility. EVERY human needs to be considered at this time
I am concered for our incarcerated community members & DOC staff. They are sitting ducks & the already subhuman conditions will only get worse as this pandemic continues. Anyone read #thestand lately? @OregonGovBrown@ORCorrections @ColettePeters11 @RonWyden@SenJeffMerkley
