Ep 870 | Former Prisoner on the Dangers of Men in Women's Prisons | Guest: Heather Mason

Today we're joined by Heather Mason , activist, survivor of fentanyl addiction, and founding member of caWsbar , an organization that works to preserve the rights and protections of women and girls. Heather tells her story of becoming addicted to fentanyl, selling drugs, and going to prison multiple times. She shares her difficult journey in Canadian federal prison, where she got routinely strip-searched and violated, and shares stories of men, many of whom were sexual predators, being placed with women and babies in women's facilities. We discuss her advocacy for single-sex prison spaces, and Heather explains how it was the Christians above anyone else who saw her as a human worthy of dignity while she was in prison. --- Timecodes:' (02:18) Heather's story (05:40) Heather's charges / getting arrested (21:20) Life in jail (26:20) Violated in jail / strip searching (28:20) Christians in prison (32:56) Men in women's prisons --- Today's Sponsors: Seven Weeks Coffee — get your organically farmed and pesticide-free coffee at sevenweekscoffee.com and let your coffee serve a greater purpose.
