Breeding Justice

Joining us is Dr. Carolyn Sufrin, a distinguished medical anthropologist and obstetrician-gynecologist. Dr. Sufrin is an Assistant Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Johns Hopkins University, where her work transcends the boundaries of medicine, anthropology, and social justice. Dr. Sufrin has dedicated her career to exploring the complex landscape of healthcare within the U.S. penal system, focusing on individuals whose lives are often shadowed by poverty, addiction, and systemic racial oppression. Her groundbreaking book, 'Jailcare: Finding the Safety Net for Women behind Bars,' reveals the paradoxical emergence of care and maternal identity in spaces designed for punishment. Stay tuned as we unravel the threads of care in the least likely places, with Dr. Carolyn Sufrin leading the way. Let's begin.
