A Look Inside Dauphin County Prison: Disparities, Conditions, and Calls for Reform

In this episode of NextGen PA, we delve into the concerning conditions at Dauphin County Prison. We explore the racial and socio-economic disparities within the prison population, and the impact it has on incarcerated individuals. We also discuss the lack of access to basic human rights, including medical care and mental health services. Join us as we hear from Michelle Angert, Maddie Graf, and CeCe Geigel as they discuss a recent report by UCLA's Lab for BioCritical Studies and the potential for reform under newly elected Commissioner Douglas. We'll also explore the reasons why these issues haven't received more attention and what can be done to raise awareness.
