How has America’s prison-loving penal system shaped our history and present, and how does that experience get channeled-or not-into the culture we make and consume? The hosts are joined by Hugh Ryan, author of the new book The Women’s House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison, which uses one infamous mid-century institution in New York’s Greenwich Village to return the overlooked lives of incarcerated women and transmasculine folks to our collective story, and to make a stirring case for prison abolition as a queer issue. This month Bryan, Christina, and Jules explore the intersection of queer life and incarceration.
