Dr. Jenny Espinoza, the former primary care provider for San Quentin, returns to the state prison to help the incarcerated tell their life story through her nonprofit’s writing workshops.
To many incarcerated people in San Quentin State Prison, Dr. Jenny Espinoza, who spent seven years as the prison’s primary care provider, is still known as “Doc.” When the Kentfield resident sees them nowadays, it’s not to soothe their aches, pains and illnesses, but to help them share their stories through her nonprofit, whose writing workshops lead them through detailing their lives from childhood to incarceration.
Co-led by Espinoza, the former chief physician and surgeon of the California prison health care system, and incarcerated individuals, and with the help of volunteers, they hope these narratives underscore the need for investments in early childhood and family resources as well as address the United States’ systemic and racial inequities starting at birth.
