Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Joins Justice for Prisoners Rally to Demand Humane Inmate Conditions in Delaware Prisons

Advocates gathered following Governor Carney’s refusal to meet with protestors for weeks despite double-digit COVID-19 deaths in the state’s correctional facilities

DOVER, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following Governor Carney’s continued silence and refusal to meet with advocates for humane inmate conditions, dozens of protestors gathered outside of his Dover residence to condemn his negligent, disastrous response to COVID-19 in Delaware’s prisons, where prisoners have been sickened and killed by COVID-19 at the 5th highest rate in the nation.

The latest protest comes two weeks after Justice for Prisoners activists last gathered in Dover to demand a meeting with Governor Carney to address and correct the inhumane and degrading treatment of prisoners in the state’s correctional facilities. The group has pledged to continue protesting until their demands are met.
