This episode is the second installment exploring women within prisons. First, we get updates on struggles in Bulgaria and Turkey, hear about proposed changes to solitary confinement, and learn about the case of Red Fawn, a Colorado woman arrested at the Standing Rock occupation against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Micol Seigel interviews two women, Ana and Michelle, who have done research about the history of the Indiana Women’s Prison while serving time inside it. We speak with a woman who works on Unstoppable, a publication focusing on female prisoners’ resistance. She also shares some stories about trauma, health, and the prison system that she has seen during her time doing prisoner support for women.
