Incarcerated individuals gain the constitutional right to health care just as most of their other rights are taken away from them. This episode, we’re joined with Dr. Carolyn Sufrin, a medical anthropologist and OB/GYN, to unpack what this means. Tune in as we break down the concept of “jailcare,” a term used to describe many of the contradictions found in the criminal legal system, explore the implications mass incarceration has on reproductive justice, and discuss the responsibility that a punitive system has in providing adequate care.
