ISSUE 15
"ALL OF US"

special edition


This is about all of us.

Trans people who are convicted or awaiting trial face discrimination in and out of the criminal justice system, and are particularly vulnerable during this pandemic. According to The New York Times, over 2.3 million inmates and 400,000 corrections officers are working and living side by side in America's correctional facilities. Unable to practice social distancing, this population of Americans are more susceptible than most to contracting COVID-19.

“The spread inside jails is going to be quick and massive, particularly in areas with limited access to health care facilities from Louisiana to California to New York,” said Pilar Weiss, director and founder of the National Bail Fund Network, an umbrella organization that allocates money to local bail funds around the country. “We are literally creating tinderboxes of death...These people have not been convicted of a crime and are typically incarcerated while they await trial, too poor to post the bail or bond to secure their temporary release.” [NYTIMES.COM]

"Trans people face dramatically elevated risk of harm or death in pre-trial detention. Because of systemic discrimination and criminalization that pushes them to the margins of society, trans people are less eligible for pre-trial release under existing programs. They are more likely to be assaulted in jail and less likely to get out, a lethal combination." [EMERGENCYRELEASEFUND.COM]
