Interview with Andrea McCutcheon
Title
Interview with Andrea McCutcheon
Description
Andrea McCutcheon’s fiance has been incarcerated since May of 2018. In this interview, Andrea discusses the difficulties her fiance has endured as an immunocompromised individual during COVID-19 and the neglect he faces in Texas prisons. Through consistent engagement with advocacy groups, social support networks, and –when possible– her loved one, Andrea is able to provide information on current situations involving programming, housing, and health protocols happening on the inside. She is one of many who deal with the extra frustration of having a loved one who is still inside despite having been found eligible for parole. Andrea speaks about her journey into advocacy and political action regarding conditions in Texas prisons. She is also involved in Texas Air-Conditioning Advocate and Texas Cares. She further discusses her fear of her fiance becoming infected with COVID-19 and losing his place in line for release. This interview was recorded on June 6, 2020 via Zoom with interviewer Murphy Anne-Carter and narrator Andrea McCutcheon.
