April Grayson is a National Surrogate for the REPRESENT JUSTICE Campaign, in addition to her work for the Young Women's Freedom Center, a coalition of currently and formerly incarcerated women creating awareness of the unique issues facing women in prison, and she is working to shed a light on the vulnerability of inmates. There are no social distancing requirements within prisons, and if staff and guards choose not to wear masks, gloves, or other protective gear, they can easily walk the virus right inside. That brings us to Grayson's work, where she is asking governors and lawmakers to consider releasing the elderly or immunocompromised sooner than planned. She also discusses her experience as she was incarcerated for both the SARS and H1N1 outbreaks, and how inmates are left without information or resources to protect themselves from getting sick.
