I just saw that the folks at Fair and Just Prosecution have this webpage with helpful updated resources for COVID criminal justice responses. Here is the overview text and links to four documents of note:
The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented global challenge that is impacting the daily lives of all Americans. The pandemic’s dire consequences — including infection, illness and the tragic deaths of thousands — will disproportionately affect vulnerable individuals behind bars.
