COVID-19 Conversation: Imprisoned Populations Affected by COVID-19
May 21, 2020 - 3:00 PM ET
This week our guests will address issues affecting populations confined to jails, prisons, concentration camps, immigration “holding centers,” and others. We will discuss COVID with a focus on individual, peer and family relations, and community organizing. Our overarching theme, Identity and Vulnerabilities, will be used to frame reports and discussions.
