Continued Fallout After Closure of Women’s Prison in Dublin w/ Lisa Fernandez & Kendra Drysdale
We have been following the scandal and abuse at the now shuttered women’s federal prison in Dublin, California. The First Report by the Special Master is out, which mostly corroborates what the women have been saying for years, but also contains some additional troubling information. Joining us to discuss are Lisa Fernandez, a veteran journalist working at KTVU Channel 2 in the Bay Area who has been covering the sexual abuse scandal at the all-women’s FCI Dublin prison, in-custody deaths at Santa Rita Jail, and federal oversight over the Oakland Police Department. We’re also joined by Kendra Drysdale, who is formerly incarcerated at FCI Dublin and is now an advocate with Dublin Prison Solidarity Coalition and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners. Kendra was released from FCI Dublin on April 19th, during the week that the prison was closed. Kendra also testified in evidentiary hearings in January which led to the assigning of the Special Master and eventual closure of the prison. — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Continued Fallout After Closure of Women’s Prison in Dublin w/ Lisa Fernandez & Kendra Drysdale appeared first on KPFA.
