In addition to receiving the National Council on Crime and Delinquency’s PASS Award for Literature for Inside This Place, Not of It: Narratives from Women’s Prisons this week, editor Robin Levi was also featured by Women in the World Foundation as their Woman of the Week.
From Women in the World Foundation: “As a staff attorney in the Women’s Rights Division of Human Rights Watch in the mid-1990’s, Robin Levi found herself working on a groundbreaking report on women in state prisons. Now the human rights director of Justice Now, a non-profit that focuses exclusively on the needs of female prisoners, Levi’s long experience with this population has become tragically timely: women are now the fastest-growing demographic within the American prison system.”
