This week on the Visu.News podcast I chat with the creators of the website tracking cases of COVID-19 in people who are incarcerated.
Around the time we recorded this interview in April, Chicago’s Cook County Jail had the highest concentration of cases of coronavirus in the US… and that’s with the majority of inmates not even being tested. You can track the known cases of COVID-19 at their site COVID19BehindBars.com

Not interviewed, but working on the project with Adryan and Eli is Donnie CoCo (they/she) – a Philadelphia-based artist, tattooer, and musician. Learn more about their work on Instagram.
