Letter to Rt Hon Robert Buckland QC MP, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, asking for a statement about what precautions he is taking on coronavirus in prisons
10 March 2020
“I am concerned that prisons are nhygienic sites that could be a centre for spreading the virus into the community. Infectious diseases flourish in conditions of overcrowding, poor ventilation, filth & a population with compromised health. It would take only one prisoner with the virus to infect many hundreds of people.”
