'People in prison are extremely vulnerable to the virus and are being severely impacted by it. The United States currently has the largest incarcerated population in the world, with about with about 2.3 million people in jails and prisons across the country, according to the Prison Policy Initiative. More than half of them (nearly 1.3 million inmates) do not have the ability to socially distance or take the sanitary measures needed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Ruth Wilson Gilmore presents a webinar entitled, "Covid 19, Decarceration, and Abolition." that focuses on how we can achieve urgently-needed decarceration for the millions of people caged in jails, prisons, and immigration detention centers across the country. The webinar was hosted by Haymarket Books.' --
