“The messaging from IN HER SHOES is critical to recognizing the common history of unaddressed trauma and harm that too often results in women’s incarceration; it is also critical to shifting the public narrative about what real justice should look like.
Incarceration exacerbates women’s trauma and often results in a cycle of generational harm by separating families. We hope to be able to share this film with policymakers, county officials, practitioners, service providers, and the broader community to highlight how Texas can advance safety, justice, and equity through investments in community-based programs and services, which would more effectively help women address substance use disorder, mental health problems, and past trauma and violence.” – Laura Pinney, Exec Director, TCJE
