In this episode, we speak with Melissa McLetchie, a revert sister, a Ph.D. candidate, a wife and an amazing mother of two girls. Melissa is a strong advocate for prison reform and abolition and uses her experiences of being in a 20-year relationship with a Muslim man who has a history of imprisonment to guide her research. In 2020 she completed a Mitacs funded research study exploring the experiences of racialized women supporting an imprisoned loved one during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this episode, she spoke about her lived experiences, the inequities of Muslim prisoners and her advocacy work.
Melissa is an advocate for prison abolition and a scholar-activist.
