Brie Williams Quoted in New York Times Article

Brie Williams, MD, MS was quoted in a New York Times article about her program Amend at UCSF that she directs with Cyrus Ahalt, MPP. Amend at UCSF brings a public health approach to improving the toxic cultures in U.S. prisons and jails by drawing on the innovative health-oriented work of the Norwegian Correctional Service and integrating behavioral change and motivational interviewing.  “When people come with us on one of our immersion programs in Norway, they see that there is a different way.  Treating people with respect and dignity and humanity is key to making things safer and the lives of people who are incarcerated more meaningful.”
