Interview with Lauren Byrd-Moreno

Interview with Lauren Byrd-Moreno

Lauren Bryd-Moreno began engaging in prison reform advocacy when her husband was incarcerated, and has increased her efforts with the onset of COVID-19. In this interview, she outlines the various areas of the prison system that she has learned about through her work. Her engagement with the world of advocacy has connected her to a wide array of people working on issues related to both incarceration as well as other types of state violence. The similarities between prison mistreatment and police brutality emphasize how broken the entire criminal legal system is. Lauren discusses the lack of treatment that incarcerated people are receiving in the face of COVID-19, and the protests she has helped organize in response to the mistreatment and mishandling of the pandemic in prisons. This interview was conducted via Zoom on June 8, 2020 with interviewer Murphy Anne Carter and narrator Lauren Bryd-Moreno.
