About Dr. Stewart Perrillat
Stewart Perrilliat has been doing chaplain work at San Quentin Prison for 28 years.

He explores the historical context, spiritual importance, and holistic view of compassion, emphasizing real-life implications and societal transformation. He highlights challenges, contemporary relevance, and personal stories that illustrate the power of caring for others. And he invites us to think about the importance of love, compassion and taking practical steps to embrace this message.
