The Netflix TV series, Orange is the New Black, has inspired many opinions about race, representation, and women in prison in the media.
When a couple members of The Women in Prison Defense Committee visited Avis Lee last week, she was next in line to read the book. Can’t wait to hear what Avis thinks!
