Incarceration Is Itself traumatic

from Radio Cachimbona

On this episode, Yvette interviews Professor and OBGYN Carolyn Sufrin about her book “Jailcare: Finding the Safety Net for Women Behind Bars,” an ethnographic study of the healthcare experiences of incarcerated women at San Francisco County jail. Sufrin outlines society’s over-reliance on prison and jails to serve healthcare needs of women of color who are mentally-ill, poor, or addicted to a substance, how prisons and jails are sites of dehumanization, and the effect of Brown v. Plata on over-crowding in CA jails.
