Sample Script:
“Hello, my name is _____. I am calling out of concern regarding the mass COVID outbreak at Prairie Du CHien Correctional, and how it’s being handled. Incarcerated people at PDCI have told us they are not being given enough time for showering or to clean cell. Can the prison re-evalaute current policies?”
When to call:
Ideal time is 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but if you can only call later that still has an effect.
