Days are dark

This letter was written by a person incarcerated at Tracy.

The way I’ve been coping with the crisis is by praying, meditating on the words of the Bible. Journaling, attending services, and exercising along with watching sports. My days are dark because I don’t have a significant other to vent to. Nor can I be the sounding board for what God is doing in this wicked and perverse generation.

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.
