Prison Journalism Project is an initiative that promotes the journalistic and creative writing of inmates and their families throughout the United States. In an exclusive interview with Today News Africa’s Lindsey O’Neal, promoters of the project discussed how inmates are navigating life in prison during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ms. Yukari Iwatani-Kane, co-founder of PJP, said “the trends we see in the US are seen in prison with deeper and more serious consequences.” Just as there are clashes between non-incarcerated people about COVID-19 and vaccines, those same clashes are exacerbated inside of prisons.
