My name is John Power, a 2012 graduate of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland and a member of the Class of 2018 at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Before medical school, I spent one year working with a community health program in rural Haiti and one year working on health policy issues with an HIV advocacy group. Let's be good doctors together.
Much has been said about the growing crisis of mass incarceration in our country, especially how it disproportionately affects people of color. And it’s true, the United States currently houses 2.2 million people behind bars, a greater percentage of the population than that of any other nation in the world. Sixty percent of those incarcerated today are people of color.
