Chesa Boudin is the founding executive director of Berkeley’s Criminal Law & Justice Center. He is an attorney and graduate of Yale College and Yale law school. He attended Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. He clerked for two federal judges, worked for years as a deputy public defender in San Francisco, and became district attorney of San Francisco in 2020 until his recall in 2022. Boudin’s work has appeared or been profiled in The Yale Law Journal, The Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, The LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, and many more.
In this episode, Chesa talks about what it was like growing up as a child with incarcerated parents -- his Mom, Kathy Boudin and his Dad, David Gilbert, spent a combined 62 years in prison from the time Chesa was 14 months old. He discusses being raised by his adopted parents in a privileged environment, the challenges he grappled with growing up visiting his biological parents, and the significant resources and supportive community that helped him harness his energy as a child into a resilient adult able to face challenging circumstances.
This episode is dedicated, In Loving Memory of Chesa's biological Mother, Kathy Boudin.
