Maggie and Michelle- I co-lead restorative justice groups in a women's prison for a bit. I was told by the women I met that the majority of the women in there were survivors and were either in for defending themselves or had been manipulated into criminal behavior by their partners, caught and imprisoned. Then of course there is the piece of how they are treated in prison. This is such an important story and powerful interview!!!
What a wonderful interview. I hadn’t heard of Michelle’s book and plan to read it. Kudos to her for telling this story. Was very interesting to read about the behind the scenes of writing and fact checking it.
It’s a book that starts out feeling straightforward and then reveals the depths. I’m glad you will read it, it’s truly important to understand how jacked up the system is
