Parenting From Prison: Chesa Boudin, Sylvia A. Harvey, and Dani McClain

Title: Parenting From Prison: Chesa Boudin, Sylvia A. Harvey, and Dani McClain
Runtime: 59:07
Date posted: 6 years ago
Description: For San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, his mother and father were radical not for their militant New Left politics but for the extraordinary lengths they took to parent him while incarcerated. When a parent commits a crime, the system overlooks their parental obligations—and the rights of the children left behind—in favor of punishment. Boudin detailed what this meant for him personally in The Nation’s first-ever special issue on parenting.

Boudin joins Sylvia A. Harvey, author of The Shadow System: Mass Incarceration and the American Family, and a longtime expert on the intersection of race, class, policy, and incarceration, to share stories of parental love strong enough to scale prison walls, and to talk about how Boudin’s experience with his parents’ imprisonment has informed his groundbreaking work as San Francisco’s District Attorney.

This conversation is moderated by Dani McClain and hosted by Katrina vanden Heuvel.
