I wish those of us living in the free world would realize that prisons are part of our society, just like our schools and hospitals. We need to own those and be responsible for what happens on the inside.
What happens when the justice system fails to support incarcerated women battling addiction? Dr. Stephanie Covington has dedicated decades to answering this question. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers dives into a heartfelt conversation with Dr. Covington about the unique struggles these women face. Many are locked up for non-violent crimes and left to fend for themselves, but Dr. Covington believes they deserve better.
She shares her insights on how the justice system can be reformed to provide the necessary tools and resources for recovery and reintegration into society. From treatment programs to community support, Dr. Covington emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of substance use and helping women find their footing post-incarceration. This episode is a call to action for communities to take responsibility for the well-being of incarcerated individuals, shedding light on an often-overlooked population that needs our support.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges us to rethink our approach to justice and rehabilitation.
