Women and the Criminal Justice System

Former Members of America’s Fastest Growing Prison Population Share Their Journeys

How Faith Communities Can Help

At a recent event produced by the nonprofit organization Circles of Support, and held at St. Philip’s Church in Harlem, three women: Lanetta Hill, Afrika Owes, and Diana Ortiz, shared their personal stories of incarceration, release, and return to society and lives of criminal justice advocacy, while touching on some of the major issues facing women in prison. They also helped us understand how faith communities can play a positive role in helping women return home successfully.
The podcast is also available on these and most other podcast apps:
