Having deep appreciation for @RepPressley's attention to the health and wellbeing of incarcerated mothers. We've come a long way, but have so much more work to do. @cbsufrin @LGoshin @mjzielinski_phd @prisondoulas @PrisonBirth @momsbeyondbars @IBJPrisonDoulas

Check out this deep dive, honest, disturbing report on the treatment of incarcerated women in our country, from the US Commission on Civil Rights. Appreciate our non-partisan government institutions that pay attention to those who are overlooked. @USCCRgov
For our report on Women in Prison, @USCCRgov heard compelling testimony from panelists including academic and legal experts, advocates, and formerly incarcerated women. #USCCRReports #CivilRights
