Self-Identities is an educational podcast recorded within the walls of SCI Muncy and SCI Cambridge Springs—two correctional facilities for women in Pennsylvania. The podcast features in-depth conversations with incarcerated women serving life sentences, moving beyond their crimes to explore their identities, perspectives, and personal journeys.

Hosted by Dr. Kathryn Whiteley and co-produced by AJ Nutter, Self-Identities shifts the focus away from sensationalized true crime and toward genuine understanding. Through honest dialogue, the series encourages listeners to engage thoughtfully with the complexities of identity, resilience, and lived experience within the criminal justice system.2023-2024 Crimini reali Scienze sociali

    Tania grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, in a home shaped by instability and control. At 19 years old and three months pregnant, she entered prison carrying both fear and uncertainty about her future. Her father worked long hours, leaving her often under the care of a deeply controlling mother whose abuse would leave lasting emotional wounds.

    Becoming a mother herself at just 16, Tania moved from house to house trying to survive and find stability while raising her daughter. Through it all, her oldest brother became a source of guidance and support during some of the hardest moments of her life. In this episode, Tania reflects on the trauma she endured, the resilience it took to keep moving forward, and the complicated family dynamics that shaped her story.

    Thelma was first incarcerated at 16 and again at 21. In this episode, she reflects on a childhood shaped by instability, growing up in a home impacted by alcohol and a lack of structure, where she also experienced physical abuse.

    Thelma shares that prison was the first place she ever truly felt safe. Inside, she discovered purpose and stability through the dog program, where she helped raise and train dogs. For Thelma, that work became a source of healing, responsibility, and connection. Looking back, she speaks honestly about how she believes her life could have taken a very different and much darker path if she had never entered the prison system—and how unexpected moments of care and purpose changed her sense of survival and self.
