AWRN
AWRN’s mission is to reduce the number of women in prison in Alabama by promoting investment in neighborhood resources and community-based alternatives to prison. Because common pathways to prison have been identified, Alabama as a whole stands to benefit from increased funding for local-level service provision and community-based alternatives to prison that address these common risk factors. By keeping women in their communities, crucial, restorative family and neighborhood bonds will remain intact and recidivism will decrease. In addition, thousands of Alabama children will benefit from having their female caregivers remain an active part of their day-to-day lives.

Perversion of Justice
News coverage of the U.S. war on drugs reaches us all every day. Whether it's your local paper's run-down of police arrests, a photo of drugs from a recent raid, or how the nation's prisons are overflowing (not reported enough), the drug war has become a regular feature in papers and t.v. news. In spite of the war's frequent appearance, one rarely has the opportunity to hear the stories of the thousands of women who are incarcerated as a result of the ever-widening net of the drug war.
