COVID-19 Dispatch #1: Stopping a Prison Pandemic

In our inaugural COVID-19 Dispatch – #cut50’s National Director Michael Mendoza joined by Topeka K. Sam and Khalil Cuberbatch from New Yorkers United for Justice, Pamela Winn from RestoreHER, Dr. Lisa Puglisi from Yale University, and writer/activist Shaka Senghor discussed what is currently happening in prisons across the country, how these conditions contribute to the spread of the virus, and what needs to be done to stop the spread of the virus.

Dream Corps #cut50 and our allies convene for the first of a series of conversations that will shed light on what effect this virus is projected to have – and is already having – on the people behind bars, justice system workers, and others in our country's prisons and communities.
