Essie Justice Group

More than 2 million people are currently in jail or prison nationwide wide. And while women are the fastest growing incarcerate population, we want to highlight the work of the local nonprofit Essie Justice Group, which is trying to transform the criminal legal system of women impacted by the incarceration that must organize. Program Manager Cassandra Carver joined us on The Nine to talk about how the group is bringing women together to heal, build collective power, and drive social change.
