Death Penalty Without Due Process: Why it is impossible to protect our jail population during Covid-19

  • Summary

  • In March 2020, the Contra Costa Health Services started testing people with symptoms of COVID-19 when they are booked into jail. On May 5, the first person booked into custody tested positive. In this episode, Carina Gallo interviews Shavon Henry about why it is impossible to protect our jail population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shavon is a Deputy Public Defender at the Contra Costa Public Defender's Office. Shavon is a demonstrated advocate for both racial justice and social equity. When she is not advocating for her clients in the courtroom, she is an active dog-mom and avid stress­-baker.
