Slow in coming but terribly necessary and we thank Judge Dugan, Judge Pittman and of course Roseanne Unger and the DAO for their efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We have had a smattering of felony trials since that time \u2013 a smattering compared to the inventory of open cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Philly jails have unilaterally stopped bringing custody clients to court until the middle of January. The jails unilaterally are refusing to permit in-person attorney visits.\u00a0 The jails provide homemade masks for inmates who come to court which are so shoddy that no less than two Common Pleas court judges have felt compelled to give custody clients masks for use in their courtrooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To be clear: on the one hand, the jail has kept the COVID numbers within reason : a total of 1000 cases since March 20\u2013 But at what cost?\u00a0 Our fellow citizens in custody on state road have had a draconian lack of freedom\u2026 most of the jails today have a rule of 23 hours in and less than twenty minutes out of their cells- just about enough time to shower.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are 4348 folks in the Philadelphia system as of today\u2026. Between March, 2020 and two days ago, none of those people were able to see, meet with, perhaps even touch their loved ones.\u00a0 Phone calls yes, but not in person visits or even \u201czoom\u201d visits &#8212; That\u2019s nine months of babies born, family members grown ill or passing away, children to reassure \u2026people to reassure them.\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thankfully, but just two days ago, after being pushed on many sides, the jail began an initiative to permit virtual \u201cvisits\u201d with family and loved ones\u2026 and we appreciate that finally coming \u2013 we are waiting to hear if it is up and running without snags.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>At this point, Defense counsel cannot see their custody clients in person until most likely the end of the year.\u00a0 The alternatives are barely adequate\u2026 there is one zoom tablet available for all defense counsel at CFCF \u2013 where literally one half of the 4300 folks in jail are housed- that\u2019s 2000 inmates and one zoom pad, period.\u00a0 An alternative system recently set up by the jail is not user friendly and frankly not at all thought out\u2026 defense counsel can schedule a forty-five minute session on line, but every fifteen minutes the prisoner is cut off and must reconnect- that\u2019s dictated in the contract which the jails entered \u00a0without speaking to anyone who interviews or meets with clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Think of it this way\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Just imagine if you went to a doctor about a life-threatening problem and while consulting with the doctor at an appointment limited to 45 minutes, in three 15 minute segments, she had to leave the room and then come back twice during the consultation (if she came back at all), what would you make of that system? Would you stand for that? \u2026 that\u2019s what defense counsel faces at this moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>At the beginning of the shutdown, there was a program to help release folks in custody and stem the overcrowding.\u00a0 That program worked: by May 8 there were only 3645 in custody.\u00a0 Since then that program has ended \u2013 and as I said the number in custody is at 4348 today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Lack of proper ability to see incarcerated clients impacts on the ability of the courts to function expeditiously\u2026 this impacts not only on criminal defendants but also on victims and witnesses who want and need their days in court.\u00a0 And it has a direct impact on the jail population.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>I will say it again:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The courts cannot function without proper defense access to our custody clients.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>To quote Justice Thurgood Marshall<br \/>\n<u><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE MEASURE OF A COUNTRY\u2019S GREATNESS IS ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN COMPASSION IN TIMES OF CRISIS. <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Honestly and candidly, I don\u2019t feel we have yet to show or provide that compassion to all of those people in the county jail&#8212;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We need to have universal daily testing at the jails so people can leave their cells and come to court safely.
