PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS Schoolof Law UCL Williams Institute tb CO Schoolof Law Criminal Justice Program ASS CIgrOq o 0 OFEN5 V THE CENTER POLICY LUMBIA UNIVERSITY I JUSTICE LAB F NASTAD May 2020 A wide array of criminal justice stakeholders' have come together to call for a public health- oriented approach to the COVID-19 crisis. The key recommendations are as follows: 1. Release of people who are incarcerated, based on clear public health recommendations and release criteria, is a critical intervention to limit the spread of disease. 2. Limiting new admissions to closed correctional settings is an equally critical component of reducing disease transmission for the protection of our communities. 3. Violations of COVID-19-related directives and orders should be addressed with a public health approach, rather than with criminalization and law enforcement surveillance. 4. Innovations that promote integration of public health priorities into the justice system already exist and may help local jurisdictions in their responses, including specialty courts, evidence-based models of correctional health care, and dedicated re-entry services. 5. Connections among public health organizations, researchers, and criminal justice stakeholders are necessary to manage health crises in custodial settings and should endure beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 Authoring organizations are the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, The Center for HIV Law and Policy, Community Oriented Correctional Health Services, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, The Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, UCLA School of Law's Criminal Justice Program.
