501 | Why Public Defenders Need the Insights and Expertise of Formerly Incarcerated People in Their Offices w/Jennifer Jennison and Sammy Provencio

Hunter is joined once again by Jennifer Jennison, and joining for the first time is Sammy Provencio. After spending more than 30 years in custody, Sammy has joined the Stanislaus County Public Defender Office to help run their newest community-centred initiative, the Hub. Jennifer and Sammy join the show to share what the Hub is, what it does, and to share the power of having formerly incarcerated people work in a Public Defender Office.

 

Guest:

Jennifer Jennison, Chief Public Defender, Stanislaus County, California

Sammy Provencio, Client Support Specialist, Group Facilitator, Stanislaus County, California
