Synopsis

Hello outside world. My name is Christopher Trotter. I'm calling live from inside the belly of the beast at Walbash Valley Correctional Facility. Carlisle, Indiana. I would like to update everybody on- on the situation with COVID-19 inside the prison. Currently they're still on lockdown. They've been on right down now for a month. The facility hasn't done any mandatory testing, any contract tracing. I think the facility is implementing what they call a herd policy. In other words: let prisoners catch COVID, let it run throughout the prison system slowly. Let it kill who it can kill and hope the rest get immune so you can put prisoners back to work. That's the situation we're facing right now. And again, I think it's cruel because myself has been sentenced to death. I'm 58 years old. I've been in prison for 40 straight years. Eating prison food, not being able to get the best healthcare. Trying to keep myself up physically, but over a period of time in prison, 40 years, it weakened not only the immune system,
