Last November, @ the National Women's Association Conference in Puerto Rico, Jody and I presented @ a roundtable entitled “Seeking Justice Inside and Outside the Walls.” One of our co-presenters was Sue Castagnetto, who teaches Philosophy and Women's Studies @ Scripps College in California; the other was Romarilyn Ralston, who had taken a poetry class with Sue when she was inside. When she was released from prison, she enrolled in and graduated from Pomona College, and is now pursuing a master's degree @ Washington University in St. Louis.
Romarilyn just published this piece in the Ms. Magazine blog, which I thought might speak to y'all:
