Inside the System: Medical Care, Human Stories, and Prison Reality with nurse and PA Prison Society volunteer Peggy Beauchesne

Behind prison walls, medical care is often neglected, delayed, or denied entirely. In this episode of Voices of the System, former SCI Graterford nurse and current Pennsylvania Prison Society volunteer Peggy Beauchesne shares what incarcerated individuals endure when it comes to healthcare, and the human cost of a deeply unjust system. Peggy shares the traumatic experiences of inmates, which she witnessed firsthand, as well as human stories of resilience and hope. She reminds us that every person deserves dignity, compassion, and care.
