The United States has the largest carceral system in the world. #LetMIPeopleGo

Imagine the fear. Distancing impossible. The loss of spirit. Human connection slowed. Lives in atrophy and we call it "Corrections." What makes us think this cruelty is OK for Michigan? #letmipeoplego Governor Gretchen Whitmer Heidi Washington

Nightmare. Been working w/ local organizers & people imprisoned in Michigan since COVID. Things are dire. Sharing some recent updates from colleague. "He just tried to kill himself. Told me he was suicidal. Bought him a book. Said it helped. Not enough apparently." #letMIPeopleGo

“Like NY's governor, they put covid-19 positive prisoners in the hospice unit, causing many deaths. When it first hit, they kept moving prisoners in/out of units, negative prisoners into evacuated positive prisoners bunks and back again." - prisoner at MichiganDOC Michigan HHS Dept

2/2 "...no property, no meds, limited access to water and toilets. To this day, LCF still does this even if you’re next to a person who tests false positive. I considered this too high of a risk to my life." prisoner at MichiganDOC. #LetMIPeopleGo Governor Gretchen Whitmer Michigan HHS Dept

1/2 I got it in March, and as I lay shivering on my bunk, chest heavy, contemplating my high risks with heart disease, I chose to keep it secret because they would have stripped me of clothes and blankets, and put me in the hole with bare necessities..." Governor Gretchen Whitmer Michigan HHS Dept

Man located at Handlon prison discusses the current conditions as “We are not able to go outside and can only use the dayroom a few guys at a time. About every other day they lock our doors so we cannot even come out to use the restroom.” #LetMIPeopleGO Governor Gretchen Whitmer Michigan HHS Dept

Seems like every prison in MichiganDOC is in violation of Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s recommendations on congregations of people. The time has come to #LetMIPeopleGO before #Covid19 claims more lives.

Let them Go or Let them die? Governor Gretchen Whitmer Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II Michigan Prison Conditions are not only UNACCEPTABLE, conditions are DEADLY. #LetMiPeopleGo Heidi Washington

"The easiest thing the MichiganDOC could do is keep it clean, but even during this pandemic, they allow the bathrooms/living area to be a pigsty. 24/7 the sinks & toilets are covered in food, bodily fluids, filth, grime too disgusting to mention." - Lakeland Inmate Michigan HHS Dept
