Women's Health, Incarcerated. (WHInc.) podcast

Women's Health, Incarcerated. (WHInc.)

The incarceration rate of women has exponentially increased in the past few decades. Gender discrimination in the U.S. legal system and its impacts on health are highly prevalent. And yet, we don’t talk about it. Women’s Health, Incarcerated. aims to raise awareness on and discuss potential solutions to these injustices, informed by researchers, activists, and organizers. Join Bhavana and Vennela as they interview experts and individuals with lived experiences and provide insight on the public health crisis that is our current incarceration system.
