Health information censorship in prisons

Join us as we explore the critical issue of carceral censorship and its impact on incarcerated individuals' access to health information. Our guest is Brian Tuohy, an assistant professor of bioethics, who shares his perspectives on the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding this issue. We'll discuss real-life stories like that of Kwaneta Harris, who faced severe health challenges while in solitary confinement due to the lack of accessible health education. Together, we'll examine the reasons behind the censorship of health literature in prisons, its detrimental effects, and what medical professionals and advocates can do to bring about change. Brian Tuohy is an assistant professor of bioethics. They discuss the KevinMD article, "Left in the dark: the censorship of health literature in prisons."
