Disability Rights Ohio sent letters on April 9, 2020, and April 13, 2020, to their Governor advocating that action be taken to stop the spread of COVID-19 in jails and prisons.
On April 17, 2020, an amicus brief was filed by Disability Rights Ohio in support of a case filed by several prisoners represented by the ACLU to advocate for measures including release to be taken to protect individuals with disabilities in the Elkton Federal Correctional Institution, a low security federal correctional facility.
