destroy-prisonsMore than 10 thousand prisoners in Wisconsin have tested positive for COVID, and 23 have died.
There is only one way to slow the spread of this deadly disease, and it’s to issue mass clemency, commutations and pardons.
to put this into perspective —that’s half the prison population of wisconsin.
A M Forde@creativename There's more than one way; clemency and pardons are the only *legal* way
@goaskforde this is true.
i was specifically referencing our demands of Governor Evers, which are basically that he do what he said he would on the campaign trail and reduce the prison population by 50% (so far he’s made a reduction of about 7%, and all of those releases were in April 2020. Until then the population continued to grow steadily for the 16 months he was in office. Even after this reduction, the prisons in wisconsin remain at greater than 135% capacity.)
