Episode notes

Sandy Stinton was addicted to heroin for almost 30 years. A lot of her heroin use went on in prison. She says she didn't want to go to a drug program and get high. All told, Sandy was in and out of prison eight times.

Sandie Alger is a 71-year-old woman with a very long rap sheet. She was in and out of prison throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, and upped her game each time she got out. Prison, she says, is where you move "up the criminal ladder, just like the corporate ladder."
