This story was told by a person incarcerated at Chino.

UCI: How has the COVID situation at your facility affected your family at home?

Caller: Well, my family is actually doing pretty good. None of them have gotten sick. So, they’re okay.

UCI: How have you been coping?

Caller: I’ve been coping all right. I mean, actually I’m fortunate that I can actually talk to my family. A lot of people are not fortunate like that. So, I’m doing great. I have a great family. They help me. They understand everything.

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.
