regarding the Love in Action Rally brought to light the horrible conditions of Dauphin County Prison . More people should be talking about reform of Dauphin County Prison. Most people get to walk out of prison after serving their time. 8-year-old Christopher Phy, 36-year-old Michael Butler, and 33-year-old Justin Cofield, among too many others, did not. Dauphin County Prison is in a crisis that needs to be addressed.

Prisoners were stripped of their clothing, leaving them with just a t-shirt and underwear. DCP’s facilities are in tremendous need of an overhaul.
