Kebreyana was a sex worker who served 7 years in federal prison for conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking. As a condition of her release she must report for probation for the next 25 years and will register as a sex offender for the rest of her life. We talk about how she ended up in prison, the unique obstacles that sex offenders (especially female sex offenders) face when trying to reintegrate into society and why the criminal justice system needs to approach sexually-classified offenses with less of a broad, punitive brush.
