Public Defender Association of Pennsylvania | The Curtis Building
Manage episode 416322838 series 1924283
The government must provide attorneys for defendants who can’t afford to hire one. Until last year, funding for those public defenders in Pennsylvania came entirely from the counties. Now, the state has set a $7.5 million budget to fund indigent defense, but public defenders’ offices are still underfunded and their staff is overworked. We speak with the Public Defender Association of Pennsylvania’s Executive Director Sara E. Jacobson, Vice President Christopher Welsh, and Chief Defender Keisha Hudson about inequities in the legal system and how a lack of funding can impact trial outcomes. And on Shara in the City, we take a tour of the hidden artistic gems inside The Curtis building in Old City.
