Jonas Caballero ‘24 is doing incredibly important, difficult, and necessary work helping incarcerated individuals. He speaks in-depth about it on this week’s podcast.
For those who are sensitive to the topics, there is discussion about rape and sexual abuse in this episode.
Jonas recently went to Washington to be part of a Congressional Briefing regarding the 20th anniversary of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). He is also on the Board of Directors and the Survivor Council for Just Detention International.
While the work is draining and tough, he does find time to spread joy. Most notably, he has helped bring therapy dogs to help Albany Law students through finals for years now!
