TPF Founder Gabrielle Perry was featured in an NPR article discussing the recent report by the state legislative auditor showing that Louisiana is lacking in its care for incarcerated women, including those who are pregnant.
“Perry said women her nonprofit serves across the country have told her they are issued as few as two menstrual products per month, and are then told they can supplement their care with purchases from the commissary.
But that costs money, and the products aren’t necessarily high-quality. Such problems are so persistent in part because some officials “consider this to be a continuation of the punishment,” she said.”
