As a second wave of Covid-19 cases surges behind bars, incarcerated people remain unprotected and afraid. Dino Caroselli, a 64-year-old prisoner at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in New York, says hardly any additional precautions have been taken to prevent a second wave of infections since the spring.

The memory of his fellow inmate Juan Mosquero’s death from coronavirus in the spring continues to haunt him.
