Hi Nina and Urooj! Excellent choice here -- a lot of room for improvement with this piece. I would also note that acknowledging the devastating impact of COVID in prisons may be a good idea. One suggestion I have is to see if there are more developed articles out there on any of the sub-areas you're thinking of (you can use the article finder in our dashboard, or google in general or the wiki search bar) that way you could suggest what articles to link out to (and vice versa, once content is more developed here). To start off your comment, you could paste what you have here as it stands (except the bit about why you chose this article) into the talk page. What you would want to do after that is to first, of course, contextualize and frame your comment in terms of who you are and what our course is, but then also in terms of any existing content on the talk page already that you feel you may want to amplify/disagree/etc. There are some comments from this year worth looking at. thanks!!
