    Thinking about these numbers makes me think of how the dangers COVID-19 in prisons and jails are to the people incarcerated, clearly, but also to those workers with most contact with the incarcerated, of whom Black people make up a higher percentage than they do of the population

    So many of the jobs with high percentages of Black workers are ones that make workers vulnerable right now or face uncertainty in the future as a result of COVID-19. Postal workers, correctional officers, bus and taxi drivers are all jobs with a high percentage of Black workers.

    I looked at the percentages of total employed from this Current Population Survey table and sorted the table to show which types of work had the highest percentages of Black workers.

    I was reading 's piece and wanted to know more about the work of Black people and how it intersects with the disparate rates of COVID-19 deaths of Black people. Even a cursory look at the data shows more dangerous and precarious jobs.

    Yet NYC's parole officers *continue to send people to jail.* According to city data, 35 people have entered NYC jails on technical violations since 3/27 when Cuomo announced "wherever we can get people out of jails, out of prisons, now, we are.”

    In a declaration filed by DHS's Russel Holt in a lawsuit, ICE has so far released 693 people (out of ~ 33,000) as of yesterday. Further, ICE contractors as well as non-ICE detainees (at state/local facilities that also detain ICE detainees) *have died* because of COVID-19.

    While the CARES act halts evictions, there's no enforcement mechanism and many landlords don't seem to know or care about the eviction pause.
