Representation
summary
Visit to San Quentin (3,700 inmates, 800 on death row) frames concrete examples: a prison program code 73-70 teaching HTML, JS, CSS and Python via thumb drives, discussions about algorithms used for predictive policing, bail, sentencing with no audit trail, and an investigative plan with Life of the Law to audit bias. Accessibility wins include a Python-based open-source stenography tool and live subtitling, and community outreach claims hundreds of emails to boost speakership that help produce two women added to Python core devs in 2017.
