These conditions are inhumane. Period. We know they’re lying because we hear from incarcerated people and their loved ones every day

[David Morales @DavidMoralesPVD]

The conditions inside our State's corrections facilities are inhumane. There is no formal quarantine process for inmates who are COVID positive or opportunities to receive adequate PPE (e.g., multiple cloth masks).

No human deserves to experience this. We must address this now.

THANK YOU to our members and all who contacted the Governor last week! The PUC voted today to extend the shutoff moratorium for customers enrolled in low-income rates until Nov 1, the start of the winter moratorium. That means these customers will be protected through April 2021!
