Sick for a moment

03.21.2021 • Wasco • Full Story

This letter was written by a person incarcerated at Wasco.

Hello,

When this letter reaches you I hope it will find you in the best of health, well as for myself I’m blessed. Well I can tell you this pandemic is something I have never seen or heard of. And it’s scary living in prison in a time like this. Does not feel right because I think about my family a lot and hope they are well. But other than that I just put it in God’s hands and keep praying.

I was sick for a moment with COVID but I’m OK now. I have not received the vaccination yet but I will soon. I will be glad when this is over but in the mean time I just try to stay safe in this prison. Well that’s about it for now and I hope everything go well for you in college and may God bless you.

ABOUT PRISONPANDEMIC™

By providing a digital archive of stories, UCI PrisonPandemic™ is bringing greater transparency to the COVID-19 crisis in prisons and jails. Made up of faculty and students at the University of California, Irvine, it is an ongoing initiative to collect stories from people incarcerated in California carceral facilities, their family members and loved ones, and the staff who work in these facilities. We will continue to add more stories as we receive them. If you use any material from this site, please reference or link to prisonpandemic.uci.edu. In creating PrisonPandemic, our hope is that the archive will outlive the COVID-19 pandemic and serve as a resource for understanding the unequal toll of the criminal justice system in the United States.
