Oklahoma Voices: Women In Prison (Mar 22, 2010)
Efforts to reduce the number of women in Oklahoma prisons are beginning to gain more attention of leaders and policy makers in the state. In late January Oklahoma Christian University hosted a full day of speeches and panel discussions why the state has this problem and what could possibly be done about. KGOU aired a few of those presentations including one from the Deputy Director of Female Offender Operations with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections Dr. Laura Pitman. Dr. Susan Sharp with the University of Oklahoma's Sociology Dept. talks about the results of a recent study on Oklahoma Incarcerated Women and Their Children.
