Our months-long fight to ensure safe prison workplaces took
another step forward after the departments continued refusal to
fully acknowledge the serious issues surrounding the health and
safety of our members.
We called on those departments to enforce existing protocols
around inmate movement, PPE, sanitation, physical distancing, and
testing to prevent further spread of the virus, where outbreaks
are out of control.
They claimed their practices were sound, and in essence, denied
our assertions.
