RBGG’s Jane Kahn Comments to NPR on Recent Suicides at Women’s Prison in San Bernadino County

August 4, 2015

RBGG’s Jane Kahn spoke to KPCC in Los Angeles (Southern California Public Radio) on August 3, 2015 for a story on recent suicides at the California Institution for Women in Corona, “Suicides at California Women’s Prison Prompts Calls for Oversight.”

According to the KPCC website: “A rise in suicides among women prisoners in California has prompted calls for authorities to step up efforts to combat the trend. The attention comes after four women in the past 18 months killed themselves at the California Institution for Women in Corona (San Bernadino County.) For a look at more, we’re joined by Jane Kahn, an attorney who represents prisoners with serious mental health issues in the class action suit Coleman vs. Brown.”
