How Do Women Manage Menstruation in Prison?

Join us for a powerful conversation with Miriam Vishniac on the hidden abuse, fear, and silence menstruators face in prisons and why real support systems are urgently needed.

In this episode, we sit down with Miriam Vishniac from the Prison Flow Project to uncover what really happens to women and those who menstruate behind bars. We talk honestly about abuse, humiliation, and the crushing fear that comes with simply asking for help. Together, we explore why so many incarcerated menstruators suffer in silence and how community expectations, punishment culture, and emotional burdens shape their experiences. This conversation gets personal, raw, and real as we reflect on what it takes to create safer, more compassionate support systems for people who are already deeply vulnerable.
