Signs and posters are left outside the Wisconsin governor's mansion in Maple Bluff, Wis., on June 18, 2020, as part of a "Drive to Decarcerate" event. Those attending urged Gov. Tony Evers to release inmates from Wisconsin's overcrowded prisons to slow the spread of COVID-19. Before the pandemic, Evers set a goal to cut the state's prison population in half. But 23 state prisons still exceed their designed capacity. (Coburn Dukehart/Wisconsin Watch via AP)
