UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY TEAM RECEIVES SCI GREENE COVID-ID PRISON UPDATE

on

The United States Team for the International Men's Day Impartial And Fair Treatment In Parole Initiative and IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R) (http://globalfatherhooddialogue.blogspot.com) just received the following e-mail from an incarcerated soul at SCI GREENE whose identity is not being revealed to protect him from possible retaliation from authorities.   


"My cohort has been put on quarantine. Apparently they released an inmate from the hospital to the unit who was infected with the Corona virus. This inmate was in the hospital for 9 days diagnosed with pneumonia. He was released back to the unit 2 doors away about a week ago. Today he returned to the hospital and a few hours later we were placed on precautionary quarantine. This maybe due to the recent Covid positive case on the tier above me. They were put on full 14 day quarantine 3 days ago. One can only hope that the test comes back negative. I'm good for now. More updates later."


WHAT WE CAN DO –

Call or send a letter by e-mail, fax, or United States Postal Service which asks for:

(1) Release -- with all deliberate speed --  of elderly and aging incarcerated Men and Women and incarcerated souls with pre-existing medical conditions who are vulnerable to contracting and dying from COVID-19  -- particularly those souls who are serving life without parole sentences and do not and will not pose a public safety threat, many of whom stand ready to return to their community to implement research-driven and solutions-based initiatives they designed while institutionalized for decades to end gun violence, intergenerational incarceration, Fatherlessness, "school-to-prison" pipeline, and recidivism.

(2) Provide free access to and distribution of masks and personal hygiene items – soap and disinfectants to all  incarcerated souls throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in compliance with COVID-19 protocols mandated by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) 

(3) Implementation and strict enforcement of the wearing of masks for all staff members working in correctional facilities throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – NO EXCEPTIONS
