Pill or Punish: Involuntary Medication at a Women’s Prison

Rustbelt Abolition Radio returns with a new episode on actions taken by women who were placed into quarantine inside of a Michigan facility in early 2019.

In early 2019 more than two thousand people deprived of their freedom inside Michigan’s Huron Valley prison for women were placed into quarantine. In this episode we discuss the action with two women who experienced the quarantine firsthand, and with Victoria Law, abolitionist activist and author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women.
