While COVID-19 had a disproportionate impact on many marginalized communities, one of the hardest hit populations were incarcerated individuals. By March 2022, two years after the pandemic began its catastrophic spread across the United States, over 588,000 cases of Covid spread through the U.S. prison system. A prison’s close quarters quickly blossomed into infection hotspots, and so far over 3,000 incarcerated people have died from the virus.
