    Ramiah Whiteside of Milwaukee holds a sign during a protest against the spread of COVID-19 in Wisconsin prisons outside of the governor’s mansion in Maple Bluff, Wis., on Nov. 24, 2020. Whiteside, who is formerly incarcerated, calls Wisconsin’s highest-in-the-nation rate of imprisoning Black residents “a slap in the face.” Whiteside works for Milwaukee-based EXPO, which advocates for formerly incarcerated people.

  • The Pandemic Changed Ideas About Incarceration

    Kevin Carr, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, says his agency during the pandemic instructed parole and probation officers to incarcerate only those violators who posed a risk to the public. “You can assess the nature of the contact and determine that there’s no reason to hold that person in custody for three days or more, disrupt their lives, put their jobs and housing at risk,” he says. He is seen during an interview with Wisconsin Watch at the department’s headquarters in Madison, Wis., on June 19, 2019.
