Around the world, nearly one million women are behind bars — and that number is rising. Often this is not for serious crimes, but because they are poor, because they’ve survived violence, or because the system failed them long before a conviction. Women Beyond Walls is a podcast that takes you beyond tired prison stereotypes to listen to real-life stories from incredible individuals: from women who have lived through incarceration, as well as from those reimagining what justice could look like.
