Hello PrisonPandemic,

Thank you for the card you sent but are you sure the letters on the card were big enough? I was glad to get it. If I could I would like to update you on my COVID-19 condition.

I still have breathing issues. And sometimes I lose my balance leaning forward or side to side, nothing serious but still I don’t like it. OK, thanks again for the card if you want write back if you have any questions. Bye for now.

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.
