We are calling for all parties responsible for the people currently housed in the horrible conditions in the DC Jail to do everything in their authority to immediately release our loved ones. These demands are being made specifically to D.C. Council, DC District Court Judges, DC Superior Court Judges, US Parole Commission, the US Attorneys Office, DC Attorney General, the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, Pre-trial Services Agencies, and the Department of Corrections. At the onset of COVID -19 April of 2020, ACLU DC filed a lawsuit about the conditions of the D.C Jail. The majority of the people being held in DC Jail are being held pre-trial, meaning they are presumed innocent. Sending people that are awaiting trial to the outside of the jurisdiction creates a hardship on the person from being able to see their attorney, adequately be able to prepare for their case, and be close to those who love and support them.
