About this listen

In this episode, Quinnipiac University Physician Assistant student Jackie Callinan interviews Chester Fernández, assistant professor at the Quinnipiac University School of Law and a long-time public defender in New England. They discuss the unique health care conditions that specifically affect the recently jailed or incarcerated, including the circumstances in prisons that may affect chronic physical and mental health and some of the barriers to receiving health care after release. Further, they provide insight into why both a multi-disciplinary team and community support is of great impact to this population, and discuss the reforms that may benefit people prior to, during, or after involvement with the criminal justice system.
