Decarcerated

Donna Hylton is my hero.  Donna spent 27 years in prison, and since her release in 2012 she has become a leading human rights activist.  She was a featured speaker at the Women's MArch in Washington, DC, and will have a movie made about her life, starring Rosario Dawson.  In this deeply sensitive episode, Donna tells us about her journey from Jamaica, WI as a nine-year-old girl, to her experiences with abuse, to her advocacy during her incarceration in New York State's Bedford Hills Prison.  This is a tearjerker.  To find out more about Donna check her out: Donna's website: http://www.donnahylton.com/ A Walk to Freedom documentary excerpt: http://vimeo.com/119262511 Donnas speech at Women's March: http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4651120/donna-hylton Tweet about this episode at #decarceratedpodcast / @decarceratedpod / @_marlonpeterson / @gDonnaHylton
