A two-day vigil is now set to mourn the inmates who have died from coronavirus in Dutchess County.
The vigil is scheduled to take place today and tomorrow at the Fishkill Correctional Facility, next to the prison's burial grounds.
Advocates say the facility is one of the hardest hit prisons in the state.
They're also calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to immediately release inmates most at risk of dying from COVID-19.
