Podcasts about women in prison

In Episode 333 of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald speaks with journalist and author Justine van der Leun about her new book, Unreasonable Women: Three Stories of Violence, Imprisonment and Extraordinary Survival. The conversation explores a troubling reality within the criminal legal system: how survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse are often criminalized rather than protected. Drawing on years of investigative reporting and extensive research, van der Leun examines the stories of women whose attempts to survive violence ultimately led to their incarceration. Van der Leun explains how her investigation began with the case of Nikki Addimando, a New York woman convicted after killing her abusive partner while claiming self-defense. The case prompted a larger question: How often are survivors punished for acts committed in the context of abuse? To find answers, van der Leun conducted a groundbreaking survey of approximately 10,000 incarcerated women, receiving more than 1,000 responses. Her findings suggest that a significant portion of women in prison are there because they acted to protect themselves or loved ones from violence, while many more carry extensive histories of abuse that went unaddressed by social institutions before they entered the criminal legal system. The episode highlights the stories of three women featured in the book: Tanisha Williams of Michigan, who became entangled in a murder case after being coerced by an abusive partner; Gemma Heffernan of Missouri, who fought back against a husband who subjected her to years of violence; and TC Brooks of California, who killed her abusive stepfather after enduring years of sexual abuse and witnessing ongoing violence against her mother. Through these stories, van der Leun argues that the legal system often struggles to recognize the realities of coercion, trauma, and survival, instead relying on rigid categories that separate victims from offenders. Throughout the discussion, Greenwald and van der Leun examine broader questions about accountability, systemic failure, and reform. Van der Leun contends that many of the women filling America's prisons were failed long before they entered the criminal legal system and that their cases reveal deep structural shortcomings in how society responds to abuse. The conversation offers a powerful look at the intersection of gender, violence, trauma, and incarceration, challenging listeners to reconsider who the justice system punishes—and why.

Being locked up in prison is hard - but often the real test comes when you're released. In part 2 of this discussion, Tahlia Isaac takes Gary inside the raw reality of life in a women's maximum-security facility: 22-hour lockdowns, mothers crying for children they can't reach, Aboriginal matriarchs ripped from their communities, and women imprisoned for nothing more than driving without a licence. Then comes the moment when the doors swing open…to no money, support, or protection. Tahlia argues that the system doesn't need fixing, it needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt, which is exactly what she’s trying to do now through her charity Project:herSELF.

Today's broadcast is dedicated to all women in prison, women who have been formerly incarcerated, with an added focus on ending strip searches in Australia. On today's show we first hear a conversation with Sohini Mehta and Monique Hurley from the Human Rights Law Centre. Monique is an Associate Legal Director in the First Nations Justice team at the Human Rights Law Centre, along with Sohini, who is a Senior lawyer in the same team. Sohini and Monique are co-authors of 'Ending Strip Searching in Australian Prisons', a joint report by the Human Rights Law Centre, Flat Out and the Formerly Incarcerated Girls Justice Advocates Melbourne (FIGJAM) collective that was published in March this year.After that, Marisa speaks with Tabitha Lean, First Nations prison advocate who will yarn about Crim Con 2026 which is a gathering built by and for criminalised and formerly incarcerated people, grounded in the belief that the people most impacted by prisons, policing and punishment are not just participants in these conversations, but leaders, theorists, artists and organisers in their own right.

These are the final words in Solomon's Book of Ecclesiastes. In the verse 12 he writes, “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of mankind” At the start of this book we read, these are “the words of the Preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.”     In today's final chapter we read, “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging, many proverbs with great care.” [v.9]  We quoted a few days ago v.11 “the words of the wise are like goads, like nails firmly fixed” [v.11] and it reminds us of what Jesus said to Paul on the Damascus road, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” [Acts 26 v.14] Goads are the nails that are fixed behind horses in harness pulling a carriage, which prick them if they try to disobey the driver.  Paul's conscience was pricking him as he put loving and God fearing men and women in prison and stood approving the stoning of Stephen.  Do we let the “words of the wise” that God has caused to be preserved throughout the Bible prick our conscience? We should.Solomon has a particular message for the young. “Rejoice, O young … let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth.  Walk in the ways of your heart … But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement … Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come … “ [Ch.11 v.9; 12 v.1]He is writing in the despondency of old age, death is at the door, he had found “enjoyment in all his toil” [2 v.24] and now that is all over.  But today we can put a fuller meaning on “before the evil days come” for our world is facing evil times and the good times (?) are largely over; “They are afraid= also of what is high, and terrors are in the way” [v.5].We must take his final words to heart, “Fear  God and keep his commandments …

In this episode, we explore the impact of your mum being sent to prison in discussion with Naz Shah, MP for Bradford West, who has just published her memoir ‘Honoured'. The book describes her violent childhood, forced marriage at 15, her mother's imprisonment for murder and the campaign for her release - which she successfully led whilst looking after her brother and sister. In this discussion, Naz reflects on her memories of early childhood and her mother's efforts to provide for the family, including feeding them every evening and providing treats like biscuits and tea – despite suffering ongoing physical and emotional abuse. In this discussion Edwina and Naz address the on-going systemic failures in supporting children of imprisoned mothers and debate how the justice system must be re-designed to support women to maintain relationships with their children through community alternatives to custody when it's safe to do so. Naz talks about the impact of her mother's imprisonment on her own life and the importance of understanding the systemic issues faced by women in prison – many of whom are themselves victims of abuse. This episode asks what more can be done to support women, mothers and families who are impacted by the justice system.

Loyal listener and true gent, Bryan joins us this week armed with a couple of underseen gems. We start off with gritty British crime thriller The Squeeze (1977), directed by Michael Apted and follow that up with some choice Philippine exploitation: Cirio H. Santiago's pirate / blaxploitation / women-in-prison mash-up The Muthers (1969). Stacy Keach as a drunk private eye having a really bad week in grim 1970's London, followed by a quartet of plucky African-American beauties pitted against some egregious Filipino thugs in the jungle and on the sea. It's a heady combination! We don't include a Spoiler Territory for The Squeeze because, well, we kinda forgot (there aren't any huge twists anyway, but if you want to skip ahead at any point, go to 1:36:49 to get to the next movie), but we do manage to remember to call out Spoiler Territory for The Muthers. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 2:40:20 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

It's our very first conversation recorded in Denmark at Soho House Copenhagen. To mark this moment I invited to the show local star and global thought leader: Veronica D'Souza, social entrepreneur, artist, author and activist.In this episode, we speak about what it really means to build a life that actually feels like your own, and the courage it takes to step away from societal expectations. Veronica shares what she learned from working closely with women in prison, how that experience reshaped her understanding of dignity and agency, and why music became a way back to her inner voice after years of building companies.If there's one thing to take away from this episode, it's this: living fully often starts with listening to yourself, and to the stories of others.If you enjoy this conversation, don't forget to rate and review us on your favorite podcast platform.

Content warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, discussion of deaths in custody, strip searches, and women in prison. Today's broadcast is dedicated to all women in prison, and also women who have been formerly incarcerated. Marisa speaks with 3 members of Formerly Incarcerated Girls Justice Advocates Melbourne, known as FIGJAM, Kelly, Nina and Georgia. FIGJAM is a collective of formerly incarcerated women based in Melbourne who have survived violence in the community but also at the hands of the state -- namely prisons and police. FIGJAM was founded by Nina, the Family Violence Justice Project Coordinator from Flat Out in the hope and dream of building a community of staunch advocates providing connection, support and stability to its members. FIGJAM members use their voices and experiences to change community attitudes and push through barriers of stigma and discrimination. We discussed strip searching in prisons. Strip searching is an unnecessary, degrading and deeply harmful practice that should be banned in law by all governments, according to a new report released by the Human Rights Law Centre, Flat Out and FIGJAM. The report was discussed in detail highlighting violations of human rights in prison. FIGJAM's campaign was also discussed.

Most Christians in the marketplace carry pain they have never talked about out loud. That silence shapes how they show up at work, in relationships, and in their faith. This episode asks what becomes possible when you stop managing your story and start letting it serve others. Lynne Farrell joins Addison Williams to share how her faith journey moved from a small homeschool classroom to a video Bible study now reaching thousands of women in prisons, anti-trafficking restoration programs, and pro-life centers. Lynne Farrell is the author and keynote speaker of the women's video Bible study, "SEEN: Discovering the Freedom to be Authentically You," which is featured on RightNow Media. Her study is also reaching thousands of women in prison, in anti-trafficking restoration groups, and pro-life centers. Lynne also speaks at women's retreats and events and has authored the children's book, "Bennie's Forever Gift." She's been married to her husband, Paul, for 35 years, and has two adult children. Key Discussion Points Lynne wrote her Bible study ""Seen"" during COVID and discovered her hardest personal stories were the parts that most impacted other women. Her study is now available on tablets for incarcerated women through a prison ministry partnership, with no prior prison ministry experience on her part. She shares openly about healing from abortion at 17 and how telling that story from a place of healing removes shame's power in the room. The Follower of One Marketplace Mission Trip helped her slow down and create actual margin in her daily schedule to be available to the people around her. She explains why forgiving others and refusing to keep pain hidden are the practical starting points for people who want freedom but do not know where to begin.

This week's episode follows Rio, a woman whose story moves from chaos to clarity with raw honesty and hard-won hope.Rio began using meth in high school, a path that quickly pulled her out of her parents' home and into the control of an older woman who groomed her and introduced her to a traumatic, dangerous lifestyle. After graduating from an alternative school, Rio became a young mom, but addiction tightened its grip. She walked away from her baby and his father in pursuit of drugs, parties, and a life that only grew more volatile. What followed were years of chaos, including involvement with a motorcycle club and people who kept pushing her further into risk and destruction.Eventually Rio entered treatment, relapsed once more, and then made the decision that changed everything, choosing sobriety for real. Today, she's married, has regained custody of her son, is working on her degree at UCSD, and is driven by a powerful goal: to one day work with women in prison and help them find the same freedom she did.This is a story about grooming, addiction, motherhood, relapse, resilience, and what's possible when recovery finally sticks.

We love horror and genre. It has been the focus of our show for years. And it is because we like these types of films so much that we notice the ones that are really bad. Of course, when you cover close to one hundred movies a year, there are going to be some bad ones. But this year was particularly rough.Was it the worst year ever? Not on our end. We brought the same passion and dedication we do to every show. There were some long ugly stretches of reviews. This is true every year, but 2025 was particularly bad. This includes big budget theatrical releases, small indies, and multiple festival offerings.There are some big names on our least favorite list. We talk about Stephen King, a Chalamet, and AI. We also talk about how one of our favorite genre film festivals disappointed us. Plus, some surprises and a few firsts. All the vitriol is born out of love. We are not hating on anything just to hate. (That's what we have social media accounts for.) We also want to help our audience make decisions. On the fence about a particular movie? Listen to this week's show and you will finally be able to make that decision. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Summary In this conversation criminologist Kathryn Whiteley discusses her extensive research on women who commit serious crimes, focusing on their unique experiences, the impact of sentencing, and the role of trauma and motherhood. She emphasizes the importance of feminist criminology in understanding women's pathways to crime and the influence of media on public perceptions. Kathryn also shares insights from her podcast and documentary, highlighting the need for authentic representation of women's stories in the criminal justice system. Throughout the discussion, she reflects on the challenges and rewards of her work, maintaining a positive outlook despite the difficult subject matter. https://www.kathrynmwhiteley.com/ Keywords women, crime, incarceration, sentencing, trauma, motherhood, feminist criminology, media influence, research methodology, podcast   Takeaways Kathryn's research began with a fascination for women and crime. Volunteering in prisons shaped her research agenda. Each woman's story is unique; generalizations are misleading. Sentencing length varies significantly across countries. Hope and identity are influenced by the length of sentences. Many women in prison face abandonment from families over time. Feminist criminology focuses on understanding women's pathways to crime. Media portrayal often sensationalizes female offenders. Kathryn's podcast provides a platform for women's voices.

Summary In this conversation Feminist Criminologist Kathryn Whiteley discusses her extensive research on women who commit serious crimes, focusing on their unique experiences, the impact of sentencing, and the role of trauma and motherhood. She emphasizes the importance of feminist criminology in understanding women's pathways to crime and the influence of media on public perceptions. Kathryn also shares insights from her podcast and documentary, highlighting the need for authentic representation of women's stories in the criminal justice system. Throughout the discussion, she reflects on the challenges and rewards of her work, maintaining a positive outlook despite the difficult subject matter. https://www.kathrynmwhiteley.com/ Keywords women, crime, incarceration, sentencing, trauma, motherhood, feminist criminology, media influence, research methodology, podcast   Takeaways Kathryn's research began with a fascination for women and crime. Volunteering in prisons shaped her research agenda. Each woman's story is unique; generalizations are misleading. Sentencing length varies significantly across countries. Hope and identity are influenced by the length of sentences. Many women in prison face abandonment from families over time. Feminist criminology focuses on understanding women's pathways to crime. Media portrayal often sensationalizes female offenders. Kathryn's podcast provides a platform for women's voices. Maintaining positivity comes from gratitude and learning from women.     Sound Bites "I'm fascinated about women and crime." "Not all women in prison are victims."

Habla sobre la sororidad que existe entre las mujeres en prisión, cómo se acompañan en el dolor y cómo Santa Martha la hizo entender que la sociedad estaba equivocada al hacerla sentir que no era mujer por no tener hijos. En esta conversación con Saskia Niño de Rivera, Alejandra reflexiona sobre su proceso de adaptación tras la libertad, la importancia de aprovechar el tiempo con sus padres que envejecieron durante su encierro y su compromiso de seguir apoyando a quienes todavía están dentro.Un testimonio conmovedor sobre segundas oportunidades, resiliencia y la humanidad que existe tras las rejas.--------------------------------In this episode, Alejandra Marín sits down with us for the first time as a free woman after 13 years in Santa Martha Acatitla. With raw honesty, Ale shares the emotional rollercoaster of walking out, the heartbreak of leaving behind friends still serving decades-long sentences, and the complicated reality of stepping back into a society that labeled her before she even went in.Alejandra opens up about how prison became a life test rather than a punishment, and how she lost loved ones while she was locked away. She talks about the sisterhood that exists between women in prison, how they hold each other through grief, and how Santa Martha helped her realize that society was dead wrong for making her feel like less of a woman for not having kids.In this conversation with Saskia Niño de Rivera, Alejandra reflects on finding her footing after release, making the most of time with her parents who aged while she was inside, and her commitment to keep supporting those still behind bars.A powerful story about second chances, resilience, and the humanity that exists behind bars.---------------------------Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

This week, multi-thousand-year-old creature from beneath the streets of Brooklyn Martin Monster joins us for a double-dose (or is that doll-ble dose?) of tiny action with DOLL GRAVEYARD and DANGEROUS WORRY DOLLS! The former is a noble attempt to relaunch Full Moon with a new line of killer toys, while the latter is truly one of the strangest films we've covered on this show, a latter-day women-in-prison movie with some standout performances and a good amount of ick.  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Ooga Booga

How do we talk about the marketing of movies so much? Probably because it often feels uninspired. Character posters all look alike, trailers give away everything, and press junkets seem to be more about looking for viral moments. There have been some noticeable exceptions, but we think we have found the one that is the best of them all. Plus, the latest comedic talent to try their hand at horror.We love exploitation flicks, and with so many streaming channels, they are fairly easy to find. Tubi has done a magnificent job, providing us with some absolute gems. Bruno Mattei is an exploitation master who has one everything from Nazisploitation, to women in prison movies, to one of the greatest Jaws rip offs of all time.He also gave us Rats: Night of Terror.This is another one of those Italian exploitation movies that takes place in a dystopian future with lots of motorcycles, crazy outfits, an lots of gore. The effects are disgusting, the shallow characters draw you in, an the rats are frightening. It is fun stuff, if a little standard. Then you witness one of the greatest endings you will ever see.The Salem Chronicles also keeps things familiar. Its says it is a modern twist on the Salem witch trials, but there is nothing new to see here. (There is also nothing on the poster that has anything to do with the film.) It would be a fine, it derivative, watch if the crew cared about it. This is a poorly done mess that will make you laugh without ever being fun.

Episode #413: “No one's liberated without everyone being liberated, right?” Those words belong to Nitchakarn “Memee” Rakwongrit, a Thai youth activist whose journey from a rural upbringing to the center of Bangkok's protests has made her one of the country's most visible young voices for democracy and feminist struggle. Born in Mahasarakham province in Thailand's Isaan region, a place long tied to grassroots democracy but often dismissed by elites, Memee grew up in a politicized household, as her father, a staunch Red Shirt supporter, constantly encouraged her to question authority. At sixteen she moved to Bangkok, and when dissident Wanchalerm Satsaksit was abducted in Cambodia in 2020, she joined her first street protest. She recalls it as the moment the curtain lifted on authoritarianism. Around the same time, having faced harassment and “slut-shaming,” Memee's feminist awareness deepened. With the Feminist Liberation Front Thailand, she adapted the Chilean anthem “A Rapist in Your Path” into Thai, sparking both solidarity and backlash. “For me, feminism is not just…a theory with big words or vocabulary, but how we are really living our life,” she says. Memee's activism quickly put her in the crosshairs. At just sixteen she was arrested for a speech about women in prison; over the next two years she faced seven more cases. Authorities subjected her to symbolic punishments, which she wryly called “certificates of activism.” In 2021, she shaved her head at a rally, declaring, “I will shave my head until this Prime Minister quits!” It became a shocking but powerful symbol of resistance. Despite repression, Memee expanded her reach, and became involved with the Milk Tea Alliance. “It gave me the privilege to be able to listen to broader perspectives and border experiences,” she says. She has worked tirelessly to support Myanmar's pro-democracy struggle, building bridges through “Thai Students for Burma.” For Memee, activism must also include joy. “Fun has two benefits,” she explains. “It is good for mental health in the community, and it attracts more people to join.” Humor, memes, and play, she insists, are weapons against fear.

Adam's Paternity Leave is nearly over, but while we still have a couple weeks left, let's look at the last of a pair of episodes featuring a very tall Emmy winner of yore. A few resourceful new Munchies figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. If you want more content and can't wait until we've fully unlocked everything next month, you can jump in ahead of our return in October.The Munchie Boys pick up where they left off last week, trudging through the murk as Ray's tall brother faces the fallout from having been charged as a serial rapist while the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association possibly threatens Barba's life for having the temerity to come after one of their guys. This fallout includes the first—and thus far, only—time an officer on the Unit dies in the line of duty, which gives Adam and Josh quite a bit to mull over while wondering why the stakes were lowered so much before offing him. Any episode that has Chekhov's gun go off while also not having Chekhov's gun go off means there's going to be plenty of plot discussion to be had. There are also plenty of discussions about the typically insane things that SVU forces one to reckon with, namely intimidation wizards, phantom door-locking chicanery, the hilarity of needing apple boxes in hostage shoots, and much, much more.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, and Olivia - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

We start with a look at this weekend's box office. We start with the power of anime, before moving on to the Warrens. But the main topic is Stephen King. The renowned author is no stranger to box office flops. So why is everyone blaming the performance of The Long Walk recent comments he made. It is not like he has every been quiet about his political views? Also, who is responsible for more Insidious sequels?We have some some crazy things on our humble little podcast. There have been plenty of films that have given zero fucks about who they offend and what lines they cross. But we have never seen anything like 2006's Werewolf in a Women's Prison. For those thinking the title is a metaphor for a much deeper story, you will be disappointed. This is very much a case of what you see is what you get.And what you see is a lot of naked women. How much? For the first time, it was enough for one of us to say it was too much. Not on any moral grounds; it was just more bare breasts than a person wants to see in one movie. Between all the bare flesh, there are some awesome kills, questionable music choices, a werewolf that is simultaneously cool and awful looking, and Patton Oswalt's wife.It has been a rough year for Blumhouse. It once seemed like they could release anything and people would go see it. This year has been one box office failure after another, including this week's feature presentation, Drop. The premise is a neat one. A woman on a blind date starts receiving mysterious air drops that command her to do horrible things or in son will die. The execution, not so much.It is a message movie that makes its message unimportant, a character study that leaves you not caring about its main character, and a thriller that is not so thrilling. There are some odd directorial choices, with some that are really good. But the ones that do not land make the movie look cheap. And the ending brings closure, but is not satisfying.

This week's pick is the ABC (!) produced women in prison film Nightmare in Bedham County. This originally aired as a made for TV movie of the week, but it also got an international theatrical release with additional footage containing vulgarity, violence, and nudity. Featuring Mike Brady, Ginger from Gilligan's Island, and a very gross Chuck Connors.

Adam's Paternity Leave is near its end, but while we still have a few weeks left of it, let's look at the first of a pair of episodes (we'll pick up the second installment next week) featuring a key Emmy presenter from last night. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.Hot on the heels of an episode that nearly broke our rating scale, the Munchie Boys watched Part 1 of a two-parter featuring Ray Romano's kooky brother Robert from the hit turn-of-the-century sitcom for olds, Everybody Loves Raymond. Fans of that show will remember that the actor in question, Brad Garrett, is really, REALLY tall. This causes the kind of continuity problems that only SVU can create. We're obviously talking about complex genital geometry problems. We would, of course, be remiss if our discussion stayed on topic, so expect to hear about Chinese New Year, more car talk from Josh, Rikers Island, and Predator.Sources:A Look Inside Rikers - NY TimesMusic:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Erin M, Florina C, Melissa H, and Olivia - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Anthony Abatte returns for my 100th episode! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we discuss a women in prison film from the mid-80s. But not just any women in prison film, we're here to talk about The Naked Cage, perhaps one of the sleaziest, trashiest, nastiest films Cannon ever released (and that's saying something)! Content warning: This is a women in prison film, so expect discussions about scenes that feature sexual assault, unflattering LGBTQ stereotypes, violence against women, and so on. Also, some iffy racial politics and racial slurs.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Amanda DuBois, author of the book Unshackled. In addition to writing the Camille Delaney series, Amanda is the founder and busy managing partner of DuBois Levias Law Group, a woman-owned boutique family law firm on Lake Union in Seattle, where she  maintains an active family law practice. Over the past thirty years, she's represented thousands of individuals – both in divorces and medical malpractice cases. She's also provided pro bono legal representation for parents who served time in prison and has become very familiar with the issues they face. Prior to becoming a lawyer, she was a high-risk labor and delivery nurse at University of Washington Medical Center.   Having a background in both medicine and the law has given her unique insight into the inequities of both systems. That perspective drove her to create the Camille Delaney mystery series. Camille's adventures weave questions about justice into a fast-paced reading experience with the twists and turns one would expect from a good thriller. Her purpose in writing the series is to raise awareness of injustice and create an opportunity for readers to reflect on how our system could work better for those most marginalized.   When she's not lawyering or writing, she's usually working on the same social justice issues that she's sending Camille out to explore. In 2015, she founded Civil Survival Project, an organization that teaches advocacy skills to formerly incarcerated individuals. Civil Survival also provides civil legal aid to individuals struggling with the consequences of incarceration and helping them with reentry. In addition to the Civil Survival Project, she is heavily involved in the community. Plus she has created a newsletter called The Ripple Haven. If you'd like to follow the stories of some amazing women, please subscribe here, https://www.amandadubois.com/blog/announcing-ripple-haven.   In my book review, I stated Unshackled is the third in the Camille Delaney Mystery series - and it was so good! You know how I love great characters, and Unshackled is full of them. Camille is an ER nurse turned lawyer, who is exposed to the oxycontin crisis and women in prison when she volunteers at the local prison. What she finds is appalling at best.   Abused, traumatized, and addicted women are put into prison and given no help. There is no therapy. No addiction resources. And no help keeping their families together. In fact, Camille soon learns that many women in prison are forced to give up their parental rights. When the mothers make it out of jail, they have no access to their children, which often leads them straight back to addiction. And the kids? Without understanding why their mom's 'abandoned' them, they are likely on their way to a prison sentence as well.   Camille meets Charli and agrees to take on her case. But it isn't as simple as getting her child back. Instead, she runs into drug dealers, drug kingpins, drug addicts, and a system that is against everything she wants to accomplish. This story will have you gripping your seat and praying for the right outcome!

Decades after a traumatic childhood - the host of Uncuffed finally gets to ask his mother a question. Then, we'll hear from women in prison on cargiving from the inside. 

We're finally here, Demme's big moment to direct his first film - and he comes out of the gate swinging. We're talking about 1974's CAGED HEAT! We discuss this film's place in exploitation cinema, within the genre of "women in prison" films, their history as a genre, and in the context of the American Prison Complex both in the 1970s and today. We touch on current issues in US prisons, how they seek not to rehabilitate but to punish anyone within the system, before we talk about this film's production. We really flex our Demme muscles here by seamlessly shifting from very serious subjects to having a good time, and we thought we did a good job on this one! So we hope you like it.

In our continuing series on exploitation filmmaker Jack Hill, director Elijah Drenner (THAT GUY DICK MILLER, AMERICAN GRINDHOUSE) joins us to discuss Jack's women-in-prison films he made for Roger Corman's New World Pictures: THE BIG DOLL HOUSE and THE BIG BIRD CAGE. With 20 years of experience making featurettes and extras for Blu-rays and DVDs (including the one included on THE BIG DOLL HOSE disc), Elijah has an unique perspective into these films and Jack's career, having been able to interview him several times for various releases of Hill's films. Elijah talks about his love for Jack's films, as well as what he thinks is the perfect women-in-prison film, and the difficulty of trying to get the story behind the story of the films we all love. This episode is not only a celebration of Jack Hill's career, but also of the importance of these behind-the-scenes extras and the context they bring to film history. As physical media lovers ourselves, it was a joy to talk to Elijah about his work and career, and the man we are trying to learn about through this chronological dive into his filmography, Jack Hill.  For more about Elijah, visit his website here.

We're hitting the streets this week for a double-dose of mid-80s Linda Blair exploitation flicks! We're covering SAVAGE ISLAND, a cobbled-together amalgam of two sleazy women-in-prison movies with a tacked-on Blair wraparound, and as a bonus, we're covering the non-Empire film SAVAGE STREETS, a teen revenge flick that encapsulates the state of Blair's post-EXORCIST career. We're joined this week by the delightful Sean O'Connor of Macabre Daily!  Hosted by Jarrod Hornbeck and Steve Guntli  Theme song by Kyle Hornbeck  Logo by Doug McCambridge  Email: puppetmasterscastlefreaks@gmail.com Instagram/Threads: @puppetmasters_castlefreaks  YouTube: @PuppetMastersCastleFreaks  Next week's episode: Ravenwolf Towers 

Adam's Paternity Leave plods along, so we'll drop one discussing one of the most memorable episodes in series history. Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.We got to watch an all-time Law & Order: SVU ("Undercover" Season 9, Episode 15) which sees Olivia Benson go undercover in a notorious women's prison in order to catch a serial rapist corrections officer. Along the way, we discuss the proper way to light an upskirt be-ankled panties shot, ‘90s nepotism star Barry Van Dyke, and the meaning of the phrase "iron kitten." We also talk about a few of the more famous residents of New York State's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility For Women. This is one of the standout episodes of the entire series, and though it mostly deals in shocking trauma, the writers and producers of this wonderful show found ways to sprinkle in lighthearted dick jokes throughout this heart-pounding hour of television.

On this episode of Girl Stop Playin'. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Pam, who's done some serious work on a topic that many of us can relate to, whether we want to admit it or not—the “mother wound.” Now listen, I've shared bits of my own journey with my momma, and let me tell you, this conversation hit different. Dr. Pam breaks down how the dynamics between mothers and daughters can shape us in ways we may not even realize until we grow up and start navigating life on our own.Dr. Pam's seen it all—from women in prison who experienced deep, severe trauma introduced by their mothers, to high-powered professionals who dealt with more subtle forms of emotional neglect. It's wild how this mother-daughter thing shows up in so many different ways, but the impact? It's real, and it can stick with us for a long time. She even wrote a whole book about it called Surviving Mama—and trust me, this conversation is a must-listen.We got into how, as daughters, we don't always start seeing our moms as the flawed, complicated women they are until we grow up, get married, or become moms ourselves. That's when the real work begins. And y'all already know I don't hold back, so I shared how my own mom used to say, “I love you, but I don't like you”—which was a LOT to handle growing up. But now, as an adult, I've gained perspective and realized just how deep those scars can go.Dr. Pam dropped so much wisdom about the healing process, and how it's not about blaming our moms, but about understanding the cycles of emotional immaturity and dysfunction we've normalized. She also shed light on how unresolved issues with our moms can bleed into sibling relationships—something I know all too well.The biggest takeaway? Healing is possible, but it starts with awareness and giving ourselves grace. We've gotta face these wounds, process them, and move forward with intention. This conversation was a reminder that we are not alone in these struggles, and we have the power to heal. So sis, if you're dealing with your own mother wounds, know that you don't have to carry that weight forever.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/girlstopplayin/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
