Family, friends and community members are letting Lompoc Federal Prison inmates know they are loved. Love Your Inmate, a local coalition that provides support for inmates and their families, held a rally at Ryon Park in Lompoc which is near prison grounds.
Representatives from Congressman Salud Carbajal s office, the Lompoc Prison Task Force and local clergy spoke at the event.
Inmate supporters said they hope to bring attention to what they call an inadequate response of the Covid-19 outbreak at the prison. We want to let [prisoners and their families] know that they re not forgotten. They don t have much of a voice, so it s really important for those of us who do to use that voice to make sure that their concerns are addressed, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Santa Barbara representative Tanya Hyde said.
