Voici une brève biographie de notre intervenant:

Karen Gedney MD is an internal medicine specialist, who in 1987 was the first woman doctor in Nevada placed in a male medium security prison. Against all odds she stayed three decades and turned it into her calling. She is recognized in both the medical and correctional fields. She won the « Heroes for Humanity Award » in Nevada and was noted as « One of the Best in the Business » by the American Correctional Association. When she retired from the prison she became an activist in the holistic prison reform movement and wrote her memoir « 30 Years Behind Bars: Trials of a Prison Doctor ». Today she advocates for prison reform and inspires individuals and groups to become involved in reforming the prison system.
