The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted lives all around the world. As people across the U.S. practice social distancing to help slow the spread of COVID-19, many businesses have temporarily shuttered and the justice system has ground to a halt in many parts of the country.

In one way or another, we have all been touched by this pandemic, whether that means working from home or working on the frontlines. But for incarcerated people, formerly incarcerated people and their loved ones, the coronavirus has had a unique impact — and we want to hear directly from you how it’s changed your life.

How has the pandemic and the measures taken to help combat COVID-19 impacted your life and the lives of your friends and family? Are you unable to see your incarcerated loved one because visitations have been suspended? Are you working on the frontlines of the effort to fight the pandemic? Has the virus posed additional challenges to your everyday life?
