Yesterday, Amie Ichikawa tweeted a thread about an incarcerated woman who had reached out to tell Amie about her current experience of being incarcerated with men in a California prison. Amie is herself a formerly incarcerated woman (which she is public about) who founded the organization Woman II Woman to fight for incarcerated women. Much of Amie’s work involves things like bringing stamps to incarcerated women so they can communicate with family members and making sure the women inside have access to things they need from the prison commissary. It’s grueling work and Amie is an absolute champion for these women (please consider donating to her organization if you can).

More recently, her work has evolved into conducting advocacy on behalf of the women who are being forced to share locked prison cells with male convicted rapists and murderers in the California women’s prison.

The housing of male convicted murderers and rapists with vulnerable women (many of whom are sexual abuse survivors) ought to be a national scandal and it’s not, because of the complicity of most mainstream media outlets in covering it up.

There is a reason the nationwide media isn’t talking about this: money and a complete lack of journalistic integrity.
