IAS faculty member Dan Berger was interviewed on KUOW's The Record (scroll down on the page to hear just Berger's segment) about decarceration in the time of COVID. Berger discussed the threat that prisons and jails, which account for more than three-quarters of outbreak clusters, pose in a pandemic. He also highlighted similar issues in an article for Boston Review, which looked at the lack of humanitarian releases for incarcerated people over 50 years old.
