We are not licensed medical professionals and do not diagnose or prescribe. The information we are sharing here is not meant to cure or treat COVID-19, but to empower prisoners to feel confident in doing what they can to support and protect themselves in this time. The info we compiled is based on what we know people in California prisons may have access to, but we hope it will be helpful in other states as well. We make no claim regarding COVID-19, as this viral strain is new and unknown to us. Every body is different, everybody has different needs and different ways that their bodies respond to stress, illness and to different treatments. We urge you to listen to your own body and trust your own experience.
