Monkeypox in prison – its impact and potential for ‘explosion’ w/ Homer Venters
Exploring monkeypox in our most marginalized communities, we chat with Homer Venters about that virus in prisons and jails. Homer Venters is a physician and epidemiologist, and was chief medical officer at the notorious New York jail Rikers Island. He is also the author of Life and Death in Rikers Island. His most recent article calls on the Center for Disease Control to act immediately in order to prevent a monkeypox explosion in prisons.
