I am looking for people with loved ones in jails or prisons in Hurricane Milton's path. If that's you, and you are willing to talk, reach out at sheffernan@themarshallproject.org Info I have so far is below.
Shannon Heffernan@shannon_h

I called the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office to see if they were moving people at the jail, who are in a mandatory evacuation zone for the hurricane heading to Tampa, Florida. The answers are vague. (1/)

Keeping people detained during a hurricane in evacuation zones is inhumane for people detained and workers of the jail. We must have better evacuation protocols for ppl in jails to reduce the harm as stronger storms continue across the country.
Shannon Heffernan@shannon_h

Lee County officials say both their jails are 100% staffed and everyone is in hardened structures. They say water tanks are on hand and they have 2-weeks worth of food. They will move people to top floors in case of flooding.

Quote: "While we do not give out potential inmate movements, I can tell you we have emergency plans in place should either of our facilities become compromised due to hurricanes or any other type of emergency." (2/)

In 2019 @JBPritzker quoted “Illinois will continue to stand strong, even as our country takes a dangerous turn toward deeper disenfranchisement of minority communities.” Let’s keep this promise and pass voting in prison. sign.moveon.org/petitions/chic…
