On April 2, 2020, it was reported by multiple news outlets that two staff and one youth in a contracted facility have already tested positive for COVID-19. As this pandemic has spread, it’s confirmed that correctional facilities pose a unique danger to incarcerated people and the staff.
As of today, April 4th, the youth and staff at Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility do not have the most basic protective masks that they need in order to protect one another from transmission of this deadly virus. Voices of Jubilee desperately need your help. There are over 500 staff and youth at the facility in close quarters and we need masks for all of them.
