This Chatham House virtual event considers how the pandemic has played out in prisons. How are prisons coping with the increased demand for access to healthcare? What has the pandemic told us about the state’s and criminal justice system’s approach to prisoners’ welfare and rights? And how can ambivalence towards prisoners’ rights be addressed to ensure adequate provisions and measures are put in place to protect them from the virus? 

Speakers include RBIJ Chief Executive Celia Ouellette, Advisory Council Member Ashish Prashar, Chatham House's Director of Global Health Programme Rob Yates, and President of Just Leadership USA Deanna Hoskins.
