All prisoners need more time out their cells to prevent depression.
Improvements on the conditions that are going on in the prisons such as HYGIENE and CLEANLINESS. Attention needs to be paid to the prisoners MENTAL and PHYSICAL health, during this period of COVID-19. More time to speak to families and loved ones on the phone, as all visits have been cancelled.
No matter what offence they have committed, prisoners still should be treated equally, as they still have their human rights just like any other person. They are already serving their time and being mistreated more is not fair! Families are worried during this incident being on lockdown themselves. We need to stand and speak up for these prisoners by becoming their voice so that their words can reach the nation. The situation is so much worse for the prisoners inside during this lockdown period.
