Get it off my chest

12.14.2020 • Solano • Segment

This story was told by a person incarcerated at Solano.

Caller: Well, I just read, and I meditate. I’m lucky I’m able to call my family and share with them what’s going on and kind of get it off my chest like that. Otherwise, you can’t do too much. You don’t want to do too much.

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.
