Limited medical

11.30.2020 • Donovan • Segment

This story was told by a person incarcerated at Donovan.

UCI: Okay, and what is the current COVID-19 situation at your facility?

Caller: I don’t believe we have any active case right now in our facility, but we are under strict modified program.

UCI: Okay.

Caller: We do not have no yards which, no recreational kinds, we do have limited access to day room activity and we do have, we do not have any education or classes going, we do not have access to law library.

We do have very limited medical I have to say, because a lot of minor problems, if you have been complaining about minor problems they will usually tell you to wait so that’s about it. Maybe I’m forgetting a lot of stuff if you have any questions.

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.
