Advocates Say Ohio’s Governor Is Failing To Protect Prisoners From Coronavirus

My latest for The Appeal. I'm stunned that DeWine continues using "tough on crime"-style rhetoric to justify turning even low level offences into death sentences for people in Ohio prisons:

"...Across Ohio on Wednesday, 21,021 prisoners were being held in quarantine, 331 in isolation, and 273 had tested positive. Three people incarcerated at the Pickaway Correctional Institution were confirmed dead this week. So far, 159 staff members across the system have tested positive. The department had conducted 1,157 COVID-19 tests as of Wednesday."

Meanwhile, DeWine proposes considering only roughly 1% of incarcerated people in Ohio for release.
