Inside Pennsylvania's Prison Where Women Age Decades Faster
Inside Pennsylvania’s largest women's state prison, those serving life or long-term sentences battle chronic illnesses like diabetes, arthritis, and cancer, from as young as 35 years old. By 50, their health has declined even further. "Dying On the Inside" is a new five-part podcast series that digs deep into what medical care, justice, and health disparities really look like for women behind bars. Host Trenae Nuri talks with executive producers on the project, Cherri Gregg and Yvonne Latty, about this often forgotten population here in Pennsylvania: women serving life or long-term sentences.
Cherri and Yvonne are hosting a live launch event at WHYY on April 22, from 6–8 pm, featuring a listening experience and panel discussion with justice-impacted voices, advocates, and policymakers.
