The Women Edna Mahan - (Live Recording)
Ep 293: Recently we had the pleasure of holding our very first live show: The Women of Edna Mahan; where we had an Amazoing conversation with three panelists, all of whom had served time at the all-female prison. We heard their stories, struggles and they let us know what daily life was like in this all-women prison.
And while we had a great turnout, but we also wanted to share the recording of this event with those who couldn't attend.
