Thank you bringing attention to Muncy and the broader issue of how women are treated in the Penal system. The contrast between the treatment of women and men is disturbing and often overlooked. This is the kind of content that needs to be heard, I’m hoping it drives real change.

I am grateful to Cherri and others for their advocacy and raising awareness about PA Lifers! There are about 5000 prisoners serving DBI sentences in PA. Major reform needs to take place! Keep up the good work!
