The Dignity Campaign for Women Prisoners coordinates a series of actions in defense of rights of women prisoners.  Women are statistically a small percentage of the overall prison population, but their incarceration rate is growing faster than men and they are subject to especially cruel and degrading treatment by male prison guards.  To join in these efforts to put an end to these abuses, please contact the Director of the Dignity Campaign, Dr. Corey Weinstein, by clicking HERE.
