In 2020, at least 23 people died at San Quentin State Prison in California due to COVID-19. Two years later, COVID-19 remains a clear and present threat to incarcerated people, despite California’s attempts to implement testing and quarantine. Incarcerated journalist Juan Moreno Haines calls in to Rattling the Bars from San Quentin prison with his colleague, journalist Katie Rose Quandt, to give us the inside perspective.
Juan Moreno Haines is an award-winning incarcerated journalist and a member of the Society of Professional Journalists. He is the editor of the San Quentin News.
Katie Rose Quandt is a freelance journalist who writes about criminal justice, incarceration, and inequality. She is a senior editor at the Prison Policy Initiative, and a writer and editor at Solitary Watch.
