Lazaro Perez – COVID-19

Being in here during this pandemic is quite the experience. Coming into DOC I was not expecting going through anything like this. I feel helpless because I cannot help my family out in the streets with the additional income for all essentials. I also feel helpless towards my five year old son who needs me now more than ever. Being stuck in here not being able to do anything except sit around and wait to see what is going to happen next is not a pleasant feeling at all. I’m concerned about visitation being permanently canceled and not being able to see my family for an extended amount of time. The biggest worry I have an have been having is not being able to see my son and provide him with everything he needs. I did not get sentenced to die, and that is exactly what it feels like right now being in here with all this going on. I am being isolated from not only the world, but my loved ones, and it’s a gut-wrenching feeling.
