Amie Ichikawa is Executive Director and Founder of Woman II Woman, and a former inmate who started making waves after her years in prison by speaking out against the fraud in our penal system, politicians pushing legislation that opens children to victimization, and men invading women’s prisons. Today, much of her efforts are focused through Woman II Woman , where she’s helping other women navigate post-incarceration life and pushing for legal changes to protect women from men during while they serve their sentences.

From drug abuse, outfitting women’s prisons with condom dispensers and issuing every prisoner with Narcan, to corruption, scandals, and questionable political motives, this episode has it all.
