“It is very alarming now that we have these deaths. We got a crisis that is starting to explode in Maryland prisons and it is not getting the attention that it merits,” Marc Shindler, of the Justice Policy Institute said. https://t.co/iUF611aHOe

It’s come to this. 1 in 5 people in prison—both incarcerated and workers—has contracted coronavirus this year. That’s four times as high as the overall population. Important reporting from @marshallproj & @AP today assessing the toll. https://t.co/Zrl2UjBUqk pic.twitter.com/NXHa4G3Zux

Opinion: Incarcerated people are suffering from covid-19 most. They should be among the first vaccinated. https://t.co/JdZFlcX43Q

I called today's hearing to make it clear that this is absolutely unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/uhOj9SELTd
This is data that had never been public until now. Just like the @MarshallProj/@ap project tracking #COVID19 in prisons. This data (open, naturally) has a life in civil society that goes far beyond the stories we author, from op-eds to academic papers.https://t.co/3r5WA0TH5j

Your liberal northern states. Huh. A full half of the people imprisoned by NYS are black although black were only 16% of the population in that last census. Covid disproportionately kills black people. The sound you hear is the deafening silence of you so-called allies. https://t.co/cGnLirXuI5
