Severely overpopulated, jails and prisons in the current conditions have become the hotbeds for the coronavirus pandemic. We need immediate action to control the spread of the virus and provide healthcare to inmates. Join us to hear from The Innocence Project on how to protect our prison population from the coronavirus and how to control the spread of the virus.
