2005 seasonWomen in Prison
Show #1005

Women in PrisonThey’re going to prison in greater numbers than ever before. In New Jersey, that means the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women. But what happens when they get there? Are there rehabilitation programs? Do they work? In our opening tape segment we look at a writing workshop for women prisoners, while, in the studio, Department of Corrections Commissioner Devon Brown, writing workshop founder Professor Michele Tarter of The College of New Jersey, and inmate advocate Wendy Lederman, of the Association on Correction, debate the complex issues raised by imprisoned women.
