This article in Sojourners about the faith community rallying around decarceration, to protect those who are incarcerated during this pandemic and for the sake of public health for all, provides great background, and includes a mention of our work:
Hannah Bowman, founder of Christians for the Abolition of Prisons, says this exercise of decarceration can be a step toward a better system.
“We say [American prisons are] about public safety, but what they’re really about is retribution and banishment, and that’s becoming particularly clear in this COVID-19 crisis,” Bowman said. “Public health is a part of public safety, and what we’re hearing is that having people in prison is a major public health threat to them.”
