This panel will uncover and uplift the unique experiences of women jailhouse lawyers. Panelists will explore profound questions together–from the meaning of “gender” “justice”, “law” and “community,” to the ways incarcerated women navigate discrimination and create tools to resist and advance justice for themselves and their community. Panelists will reflect on their roles as sisters, mothers, bridges, and more–and explore how justice-impacted women can take hold of their healing journeys toward humanization, wholeness, and spiritual wellbeing.
