Women, finally free to hug others, exiting prison, leaving behind stark cells, barbed wire, guards, guns and friends. Their khaki pants and t-shirts are prison issued – men’s sizes.

Now well-established outside, she will soon join TRI as a Certified Peer Support Specialist, to guide others starting over.
