Dear Mayor Chris Mehl,
My name is Lillian Ball and I am emailing because people in Gallatin jail are extremely vulnerable to COVID-19.The majority of people who are awaiting trial on their charges do not need to be held. Please be an advocate in ourcounty to ensure that people who aren't a danger to the community are allowed to be at home while they await theirday in court. Those awaiting trial should not be handed a death sentence or put at higher risk during this pandemic.Please take the necessary steps to ensure that everyone in Montana is protected from COVID-19.
Sincerely,Lillian Ball
