Around the world, nearly one million women are behind bars — and that number is rising. Often this is not for serious crimes, but because they are poor, because they’ve survived violence, or because the system failed them long before a conviction. Women Beyond Walls is a podcast that takes you beyond tired prison stereotypes to listen to real-life stories from incredible individuals: from women who have lived through incarceration, as well as from those reimagining what justice could look like.

Imprison a Mother, Imprison a Family, with Dr. Shona Minson

Some say that when you imprison a mother, you imprison a family. Today, Dr. Shona Minson, Researcher at Oxford University’s Centre for Criminology, shares her groundbreaking work on the often invisible impact of maternal imprisonment on children. She goes beyond stereotypes that label incarcerated women as “bad mothers,” showing how poverty, stigma and systemic discrimination push women into prison and how these injustices reverberate through generations.
