The Red Tent with Barbara Rhode
Since 1980, the number of women incarcerated in this country has skyrocketed, increasing by more than 750%. My guest today, Barbara Rhode, is on a mission to offer a healing space for women inside jails. By working with women inside the Pinellas County Jail in Florida, Barbara’s organization, The Red Tent Women’s Initiative, supports these women in addressing unresolved trauma and addiction. Over 80% of the women in this program are mothers, which means the healing support they receive doesn’t just stay with them, it reaches their children and communities, too.
A fascinating look at women behind bars and what prevention and change truly look like.
