New public health research on women's prisons exposes medical neglect, sexual violence and inhumane living conditions.
Our research included interviewing and surveying people who are currently incarcerated in California’s two remaining women’s prisons, Central California Women’s Facility and California Institution for Women . Our findings paint a dire picture of people facing medical neglect, sexual violence, transphobic discrimination and inhumane living conditions while incarcerated.
Furthermore, 83 percent of our survey respondents reported having an illness, injury or disability, and 55 percent reported having three or more health conditions needing care. Ableism shapes how disabled people are policed, socioeconomically marginalized, and discriminated against in both the medical and legal sectors, leading disabled people to be disproportionately incarcerated.
Additionally, an alarming 40 percent of our survey respondents reported experiencing reproductive abuse, such as coerced sterilization or an untreated reproductive health issue while imprisoned. Several respondents shared that they woke up from unrelated surgeries to find that their ovaries or uterus had been removed. One woman said that she was waiting for paperwork from a surgery two years prior to find out if she was sterilized.

Report: Thomas sold real estate to donor, didn't report dealConservative mega-donor Harlan Crow purchased three properties belonging to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his family, in a transaction worth more than $100,000 that Thomas never reported, according to the non-profit investigative journalism organization ProPublica. The 2014 real estate deal shines a new light on Thomas’s decades-old relationship with Crow, a real estate magnate and longtime financier for conservative causes. That relationship and the material benefits received by Thomas have fueled calls for an official ethics investigation. ProPublica previously revealed that Thomas and his wife Ginni were gifted with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of annual vacations and trips by Crow for decades.
