ACLU of Oklahoma and partners submit a draft executive order addressing the most urgent next steps in addressing COVID-19 in our prisons and jails before it becomes a crisis that overwhelms not only custodial care providers but the Oklahoma medical system at large.
Freedom Oklahoma and the ACLU of Oklahoma released recommendations that the Oklahoma City government, State officials, and policymakers across Oklahoma must consider to achieve a fair and effective response to COVID-19.
Thank you to the Oklahoma City Municipal Judicial leadership for an urgent response to COVID-19 that centers the public health of everyone who is a part of the legal system, especially those currently detained.
The ACLU will be watching closely to make sure the government's response is scientifically justified and no more intrusive on civil liberties than absolutely necessary.
