In a prison in Michigan, Jerry West has long been fighting to overturn his murder conviction, and says he has a good chance of doing so. After decades behind bars, hope finally seemed within reach. But now West fears that the coronavirus pandemic may prevent him from getting out at all.
West, an asthmatic Black man in his mid 40s also has a number of other medical conditions.” In a message shared withWest said that he fears for his health and safety if the virus starts to spread in the prison. He says that the prison has not provided him with any additional soap, hand sanitizer, or toilet paper. “Security guards come to work coughing, sneezing, and [with] super invincible bad attitudes that lack empathy, compassion,” he wrote.
West said that efforts to take matters in their own hands to protect themselves have been not allowed by prison guards. He says prisoners are not allowed to cover their faces, and West was reprimanded after making his own mask out of a towel. Some of his fellow inmates have resorted to making their own hand sanitizer out of soap and bug spray, he claims.
