Letter to Gov. Abbott Regarding Youth in Custody and Coronavirus March 19, 2020
Opening paragraph: With cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) increasing daily, we can expect the virus to enter Texas’ juvenile facilities and detention centers, if it has not already. We are writing to share our concerns about the impact of COVID-19 virus on incarcerated and detained youth. As Texas takes steps to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, closing schools, canceling events, and shifting to supporting children in their homes and communities, we are writing about one group of young people that has the potential to be left behind: youth in custody in Texas.
