If the virus doesn't kill us, being a bunch of pussies will. This quarantine is bull shit.
"Forced to make hand sanitizers while being denied these or even soap". Cruel and unusual slavery and negligent homicide class action lawsuit coming…
When the State any State takes it upon itself to remove a person to a prison, that state becomes responsible for their total wellbeing.

THank you for this, it's all around the country. People need to be released all non violent people with an address need to be sent home!!!!!!!!!!
THis is maddening prisoners dont deserve this, this is not part of their punishment, they deserve protection considering how much the system makes of the lives behind those bars
Start with releasing the Rapist that have a thing for pierced women with pigtails thank God we have a right to bear arms still
THROW A CHAIR FOR RIKERS ISLAND
Riker's houses 8,000 inmates!!??? 😳 Trying to wrap my mind around that
alone is overwhelming. With this pandemic the inmates now must be understandably terrified as well as their spouses, families and loved ones.
thank u to Kim for sharing her incarcerated friends story of the deplorable conditions inside Rikers.
I fully support the inmates strike for the reasonable demand of soap and cleaning wipes. And the
correctional guards need to be fired as well as the warden.
Well said ..its definitely a crime against humanity
Rikers Island is going to be in bad shape soon. Welcome to Division, and now I don't feel so great fighting them ingame.
Awww. Poor criminals.
Guards will abandon the prisons if things get worse.
I feel for this people because it's not going to be easy as prisoner in this type of environment. Everyone are in close quarters so its definitely difficult for them and scary. The people who are in isolation are the only ones that are safe.

One of the concerns I have is if you release these people where do they go ..are they released in to the public or into another jail.. Obviously they are there for a reason.. You don't want a whole prison population in your neighborhood you know what kind of danger you would be put in that community in.. They deftly need supplies but don't need to be released into the community..even if their not charged yet that means they committed a crime but are waiting to be charged they are still criminals. Just move them to a safe haven where they could still be locked up but able to be social distanced..send supplies now ..maybe some one could start a go fund me for the rikers island prison population..
Send these people what they need, this is Not The Hunger Games! Come on America, mobilise!
