On August 12, 2020, the ACLU joined coalition partners in urging the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis to give critical consideration to policies that would protect the health and safety of incarcerated individuals and corrections staff particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. We asked that the Committee leadership include the necessary provisions to respond to the crisis in our nation’s jails and prisons in the next COVID-19 response package just as the House did when it passed the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act.
