Quarantined 50 days

11.30.2020 • Chino • Full Story

This letter was written by a person incarcerated at Chino.

Once I was quarantined for about 50 days and that caused me to lose my job for one day, it was reinstated the next day. I’m second cook and I’ve been cooking in culinary for a few years. It’s good to keep busy.

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.
