This week, we share part of a  conversation between Focus Initiatives’ Jok Huerta and Sincere. Sincere, who spent 13 years in Indiana prisons, and now organizes in Indianapolis with other formerly incarcerated people. Sincere speaks to the experience of  arriving and getting settled into prison.  She also movingly addresses the frequent abuses she witnessed and experienced. Content warning: sexual abuse and medical neglect.

This conversation was hosted by IDOC Watch and Focus Initiatives. Thanks to everyone who helped with the show.
