Steve Zeidman writes for City Limits: “In the past six weeks, the plea for clemency has taken on heightened urgency as it is apparent that prisons are hotbeds of COVID-19, daily threatening the lives of prisoners, correction officers, civilian employees, volunteers and their communities. Of particular concern are the grave consequences facing those CDC defined as most at risk – older people in prison and those with health issues. Yet to date, the governor has failed to commute a single person’s sentence.”
