This letter was written by a person incarcerated at Soledad.
First I’d like to thank you all for your thoughtful words of encouragement during these critical times, hard to deal with, which have befallen us all.
Then I’d like to jump straight into sharing my experiences in regards to how CDCR has been dealing with us and our loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic, or how they have failed to deal with us and our loved ones during the pandemic.
Being in prison at any time is a dreadful thing because it’s a place where each day is filled with so many uncertainties, but life during the pandemic has been a total conundrum. We’ve entered a very dark period behind these walls due to the pandemic.
