Perilous Chronicle

This episode was first featured on "This is America", a project of It's Going Down.

This week, we cover the prison evacuations in Oregon as wildfires tear through the state and down the coast. 

In order to get a closer look at the situation, Perilous correspondent Ryan Fatica spoke with a prisoner named Bryan MacDonand who was evacuated to the Oregon State Penitentiary. Bryan described the conditions he is living through as the constant threat of COVID-19 collides with the dangers of smoke inhalation, lack of adequate food and medication and the violence of the prison environment.
