About Jerome Wright

  • David Gilbert’s fame, already widespread due to his own accomplishments, grew last year when his son, Chesa Boudin, ran for and won the office of San Francisco district attorney. Chesa emphasized during his campaign that he had grown up visiting his parents in prison and learning the cruelty of imprisonment to prisoners and their families. When Chesa tweeted this photo last August, he wrote: “Flashback to 1985 on one of countless prison visits to my dad. In this one, I’m rocking the homemade Rosa Parks t-shirt!
