A new Ella Baker Center-led survey of more than 500 people incarcerated in California state prisons warns that large numbers of people have been subjected to extreme heat, dangerous cold, flooding, and wildfires. The report is called Hidden Hazards: The Impacts of Climate Change on Incarcerated People in California State Prisons. The report was produced by Master of Public Policy Graduate Students from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs on behalf of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. We’re joined by Emily Harris, Co-Director of Programs at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights along with Maura O’Neill, one of the researchers and co-authors of the Hidden Hazards report and a UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs Graduate.
