Government rules have locked our loved ones away. The very thing my parents dreaded has come true. No touch or sight of family is slowly killing them. Covid rules have ripped the heart out of the whole family. My mum has dementia and is deaf. How do you think she can manage to converse with someone in a face mask. She is frightened and alone even when among other inmates. I use that word because that is what they have been reduced to. Image being put into prison age 95. It’s beyond cruel.
