In an attempt to uplift other voices from within the prison, I asked what people inside wanted the outside to know. I will share their responses over the next 30 days. #VoicesFromInside
Day 1: “Very little care is actually given to our health and safety by the Department of Corrections. Safety measures are used to bully us daily, not protect us” - Reggie #VoicesFromInside
Day 2: "Sex discrimination runs rampant in prison. Trans women like myself are considered the most oppressed class of women on the planet. My name is Christie. If you want to learn more contact me at http://JPay.com  (Washington State ID# 323861)" #VoicesFromInside
Day 3: "When our loved ones send money to our accounts for prison store so we can purchase necessities like toiletries it is taxed by the state up to 95%." - Charles #VoicesFromInside
Day 4: " It would be easy for me to just give up in prison, but I refuse to. I must fight for my rights as a human being." - Jojo
Day 5: "Some prison staff talk hella disrespectful. If you stand strong with an opinion or what you believe is right, you're considered a threat and face a severe consequence." - Anthony #VoicesFromInside
