JUSTICE IN AMERICAN - Women in Prison

"American prisons are hell.  For women, they’re even worse" PBS NewsHour 11/28/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The U.S. incarcerates more people than any other country--over two million.  Roughly 200,000 of them are female.  But existing American prisons are often ill-equipped to handle the specific needs of women and girls.  Amna Nawaz talks to Andrea James, a lawyer and former federal inmate who founded the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls, about her experience.
