Connecting the past to the present. Jeremy kicks off our black history month series by connecting the history of slavery to our current day prison industrial complex. He shares audio from a vigil he attended in front of the Governor's house and at the ACI correctional facility.
Young men and women in our correctional facilities are suffering during this pandemic. The correctional facility in RI has over a 90% positivity rate of COVID-19. This is unacceptable. Inmates lives matter! Press play and hear the stories of those close to the issue.
