Between 2005 and 2013, California sterilized over 850 people in women’s prisons either without their consent, and in some cases without even their knowledge. A state program, in theory is trying to locate these women to pay them reparations to the tune of $15,000 a year, but with just a year left before the program shuts down, only 51 women have received checks. We are joined by Hafsah Al-Amin, program coordinator with the California Coalition for Women Prisoners who has been working on the sterilization reparations program for years, along with Moonlight Pulido, who is a survivor of forced sterilization while incarcerated at Valley State Prison in Stockton in 2005. She has received reparations funds and is working to get access for that to other survivors.
