Here’s the latest Jodi News Update (#104) for May 2021:
**********
Members of the U.S. Military are onsite at Perryville this week administering the Moderna vaccine to anyone who wants to be vaccinated.
Inmates housed on Lumley Unit, including Jodi, received theirs this morning. The military rolled onto the Perryville complex earlier this week with a truckload of vaccines (thanks to the joint efforts of the current and former presidencies), and has been administering them to the thousands of women housed there.
Late last month, vaccinations began at Perryville for the inmate population 55 years and older. Their second dose was administered this week. Everyone below that age group is now being offered their first dose.
Receiving the vaccine is optional, but most women on Lumley Unit are choosing to be vaccinated both for their health and with the hope that visitation will soon reopen so that mothers who haven’t held their children in over a year can finally do so.
The Arizona Department of Corrections has also used the pandemic as an excuse to prevent attorneys for the ACLU and other organizations that focus on civil rights abuses from entering and inspecting its state prisons. With the advent of population-wide immunity, many people are hopeful for a return to normalcy.

NEW MATCHING FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN FOR JODI’S LEGAL FIGHT!
We are pleased to announce that an anonymous donor has pledged to match all donations made to the JAA Appellate Fund at Justice4Jodi.com, dollar for dollar, up to $35,000! Any amount you donate between now and the end of the year will be DOUBLED. The goal is to raise $70,000 by year’s end. Doing so will place Jodi within reach of being able to obtain legal counsel after the standard petitions funded by the state are concluded.

Remember… each day that passes takes us one day closer to Jodi’s release date.
