A proposito di questo titolo

This archival episode of North American Angst opens a door most people never look behind.Peeja & Carol, hosts of N.A.A., bring together women who have lived the reality of incarceration and emerged determined to speak. Heather Mason and Amy Ichikawa, both formerly imprisoned, recount what happens inside women’s prisons when policy abandons biological reality. Their testimony moves from Canada to the United States, tracing how institutional language has been used to justify the placement of male offenders into female facilities, often without consent, warning, or recourse for the women already there.What makes this episode devastating is not theory but specificity. Mothers describe fear inside mother and child units. Women recount locking themselves in rooms to avoid harassment or assault. Guards are disciplined for objecting to strip searches of male inmates. Complaints vanish. Charges are not laid. Survival becomes a strategy of silence. The system functions not because it protects women, but because it exhausts them.This episode stands as documentation. It preserves voices that institutions prefer remain unheard. And it makes one thing unmistakably clear: when truth is buried, women are expected to absorb the cost.Heather Mason speaks with the clarity of someone who has seen the machinery from the inside. Formerly incarcerated at Grand Valley Institution for Women, she has since become one of the most consistent advocates for sex-segregated prisons in Canada. Her work includes organizing nationwide protests, documenting institutional failures, and giving voice to women who cannot safely speak for themselves. She understands not only the policy language, but how it plays out on the ground, day after day, inside prison walls.Amy Ichikawa brings a parallel authority shaped by five years in a California state prison and subsequent advocacy in the United States. Her work began when women inside reached out in fear as new policies took effect. She now acts as a point of contact, connector, and defender for incarcerated women navigating assaults, retaliation, and bureaucratic stonewalling. Her involvement in documentary work with the Independent Women’s Forum has helped surface stories that would otherwise remain hidden.Together, Heather and Amy offer something rare: cross-border clarity. Their accounts differ in jurisdiction but align in outcome. When women’s safety is treated as negotiable, harm follows predictably.Nothing in this episode asks for outrage alone.It asks for responsibility.These women cannot protest. They cannot speak freely. They cannot risk being labeled difficult, hateful, or non-compliant. That burden falls to those on the outside.Take the next step:Follow Heather on XFollow caWsbar on XHistory in the Making: Follow caWsbar's Charter ChallengeFollow Amie Ichikawa on XVisit Women II WomenSupport Women II Women's sponsorship of SB 311The tent remains open.The fire does not go out.Truth survives because women carry it.Sign up to The Quill and get the latest from The Red Tent Collective.Have tech skills?
