The data is clear: LGBTQ2S+ people are overrepresented at every stage of the criminal justice system and this is especially true for trans people, who are subject to particularly inhumane conditions and treatment while incarcerated. Today we’re taking a deep dive into the experience of being trans behind bars. We’re using the Canadian correctional system & our guest Moka Dawkin's story as a case study, but this reality is all too common and often worse across the globe. In Todays episode you’ll hear Moka’s story of wrongful conviction, her trans incarceration experience, and we’ll be discussing the systemic criminal justice issues that are plaguing our community.
