Summary Is mass incarceration the largest barrier to gender justice today? In the current age of mass incarceration, at least one in four women has an incarcerated loved one. Women are being incarcerated more frequently today than ever before. Women's lives are defined and confined by criminal justice control. Given that incarceration's harm radiates from inside prison walls to well beyond them, a large number of women are directly suffering the consequences. This talk with Gina Clayton-Johnson, Founder and Executive Director of Essie Justice Group, asks and answers the question, what is mass incarceration doing to millions of women who have loved ones behind bars? Our research concludes that mass incarceration is: * A direct cause of significant to extreme psychological distress and trauma * A serious obstacle to the financial health and economic agency of women with incarcerated loved ones Gina posits a new analysis: that the sum total effect of the social condition of women with incarcerated loved ones is most accurately described by what we call "political isolation." This talk is facilitated by author, activist, and strategist Rinku Sen as part of the Women's Leadership Online Summit produced by Berrett-Koehler Publishers.
