"Devastating"? Also brutal & inhumane. Many in prison deaths are preventable. How? By providing decent medical care inside the walls where it often is woefully lacking. Until we as a people prioritize healthcare for all Americans despite social status, these deaths will persist.

Not sure which is these is more shameful. Is it worse that this predictable, preventable mass death happened, or that the government couldn’t give enough of a damn to continue tracking it? Thread here:

.@UCLA Law researchers find nationwide prison mortality rates skyrocketed during the pandemic, documenting a 61% increase in mortality rate in 2020. Via @UCLAprisondata.👇 bit.ly/3k8R4eO
.@NYCSpeakerAdams and @CarlinaRivera respond to @CorrectionNYC’s decision to limit the Board of Correction’s access to its security camera footage. They call it “dangerous and legally dubious”
Please apply to join us as a part-time, remote project manager at @uclaprisondata, as we transition to a new focus on documenting and studying deaths in prison across the country. uclacovidbehindbars.org/opportunities
🧵Our analysis found that Black and Hispanic people in Texas prisons died of COVID at significantly higher rates than white people. @uclaprisondata @nealmmarquez statesman.com/story/opinion/…
🚨Coming soon!🚨 This fall, we’ll publish a nationwide death-in-prison database. The database will serve as a partial replacement for—and, in significant ways, improvement upon—the reporting that the Department of Justice has effectively ended. uclacovidbehindbars.org/PSI-committee-…
"Prisons throughout the country continue to lean on Covid as an excuse to strip prisoners of rehabilitative opportunities while conveniently ignoring any Covid protections which would inconvenience prison officials or deprive them of incarcerated labor." jewishcurrents.org/covid-prisons-…
NEW from @uclaprisondata: "21 States and D.C. Have Stopped Reporting Active COVID Cases in Prisons, Despite Active Community Outbreaks"🚨🚨 Check out our scorecard update by Baji Tumendemberel and @bbbennettt uclacovidbehindbars.org/lacovidbehindb…
We're honored and excited to be recognized tonight as one of the Vanguard Justice Award Winners! @DavisVanguard
Hearing happening now. Sen. Ossoff has started off mentioning the 990 deaths in jails and prisons unaccounted for in the 2021 Department of Justice's collection of data from states, mentioned in above report that @POLITICOMag summarized earlier today. politico.com/minutes/congre…
NEWS: Next Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. ET, PSI Chair @ossoff will hold a hearing on his 10-month bipartisan investigation into uncounted deaths in America’s prisons and jails. Tune in here: hsgac.senate.gov/subcommittees/…
