This is the article by Virginia Black that was mentioned in the interview about healthcare and prison:
From We’ve Got Their Backs:
“As prisoners across the country are fighting for better conditions, for their dignity, or just to get free- they are at great risk for repression and retaliation by guards and prison administrators. Those of us on the outside who have more room to maneuver can back them up.”
Below you will find call in contact information and potential scripts if you are interested in showing support to prisoners from the outside.
Willis Bailey
Call Jefferson City DOC Central Office: 573-751-2389
Bailey fears for his life. He says that, because of trying to organize and hold guards accountable, there is a hit on his life. He wants as many people as possible to call the prison and let them know we are paying attention to what happens to Bailey.
Potential script: “I heard that a prisoner names Willis Bailey, who’s inmate number is 259775 has been targeted for standing up for himself and trying to hold guards accountable. Please put some oversight on the situation to make sure Bailey is not harmed in retaliation. Thank you.”
