No one should be subjected to inhumane conditions—not in a pandemic, not ever. But in the U.S., 2.3 million people are locked up in prisons, jails, and detention centers, where they face the cruel mental and physical harms of confinement, even in ordinary times. Now COVID-19 has multiplied the dangers of imprisonment exponentially. 

That's why AFSC is working with communities across the country to free people in this pandemic—and build a future without incarceration.
