Written By Gillian Hemme

What is new in the last 48 hours?

  • 234 folks incarcerated at CCJ and 78 CCJ staff members have tested positive.

  • Death rates in Spain and Italy appear to be slowing.

  • A tiger in the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for COVID-19.

What is the same?

  • A bad blackberry is baaaad.

  • Real mail is a treat. Especially when it comes in the form of a handmade card from Beth Voitik and little Anthony. Shout-out to postal workers putting themselves out there every day!

What is the hope?  

  • People like Jes Duhig sewing hundreds of masks, pointing their talent and time towards a new need

  • Earl Grey that has been steeped for the right amount of time

  • Non-profits joining forces to bail folks out of Cook County Jail
