We know that the environment and political information is important, and we expose and teach the women about some of the environmental factors that lead to their incarceration.

I knew hundreds and hundreds of women like me, who had traveled in and out of prison in a revolving door. They needed support and help just like I had received. And it could make a difference, just like it had made a difference in my life. I wanted to see them come back to the community and have a chance at a different life, too.

I knew I wasn't born to be caged and chained up.
