Click Here to Listen: "Women & Prison Update 2010"


There are now almost a quarter million women behind bars in the US, and more than one million on probation and parole. Is orange the new black? Zonta Women's Community radio producer Roxanne Neilson speaks with Stacey Thompson, Outreach Coordinator for the Women in Prison Project of the Correctional Association of New York http://www.correctionalassociation.org/. Ms. Thompson describes the challenges faced by women who have served their time - and how these women work hard to put their health, families and homes back together.
ZWCR notes the passing of Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller who was born on November 18 1945 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and died of pancreatic cancer April 6th 2010. In Mankillers autobiography she wrote, "Friends describe me as someone who likes to sing and dance along the edge of the roof. I try to encourage young women to be willing to take risks, to stand up for the things they believe in, and to step up and accept the challenge of serving in leadership roles."
