  • Thank you

    The Jane Doe episodes make me sick. How can this be happening? There is an epidemic inhumanity in the criminal justice system today. Where is the outrage? It is up to us, we the people, to make our vices heard!

  • More of this!

    I am and have always been a big fan of Snap, but The We Are Jane Doe series has inspired me to write my first review. The story is shocking but not surprising and this is exactly the type of reporting we need more of.

  • Great interviews

    This show has particularly empathic interviews that get to the real story. I’ve especially loved the Jane Doe and Fire Escape Stories, exploring experiences in US women’s prisons.
