CPP's policy team

 

 

The COVID Prison Project policy arm tracks, stores, codes, and analyzes the policies and related data that are related to COVID-19 in prisons for both people who are incarcerated and for staff. Data were collected from publicly available sources of statewide prison policies including Department of Corrections websites, Facebook pages, Twitter pages, and news releases for all 50 states, ICE, and the Federal BOP. Check out some of our data visualizations of quarantine, isolation, and masking policies below! If you have any suggestions or comments, please email us at healthandjustice@unc.edu.
