It spread through our living unit in a matter of weeks. We were sick, and most of us knew it was probably COVID. A staff member that worked in the prison’s Correctional Industries Laundry Service had tested positive and been placed on leave. Prisoners knew they were sick, but no one wanted to report the symptoms because we all knew what came with that—an unwanted and unhelpful trip to solitary-confinement-like conditions. A cell stripped down to nothing but the small box of property you were allowed to bring as you scrambled to prepare for a trip into a concrete box. Each time COVID has entered the prison, the majority of prisoners inside have contracted the virus, so why add a trip to isolation if it doesn’t help to curb the spread? This is the question many prisoners continue to ask.
