How Maryland discriminates against women prisoners | Rattling the Bars

Jessup, Maryland is home to the state's only women's prison, the Maryland Correctional Institute for Women, commonly known as "The Cut". For years, advocates fought for a women's pre-release center, which would house prisoners eligible to go out on work release, receive an income, and take family leave. Despite passing a bill into law mandating the construction of a women's pre-release center, the state has only pledged $2 million towards its construction. Monica Cooper, founder and Executive Director of the Maryland Justice Project, joins Rattling the Bars to break down the significance of the pre-release center, why the state government is dragging its feet, and the real impact official inaction is having on women in The Cut.
