Cathleen Quinn’s grant for parole was revoked after she criticized a law allowing male offenders to be housed in women’s prisons, extending her sentence by five years. After being told to stay quiet and keep her head down, Quinn has decided to join the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) lawsuit against California’s SB 132 and speak out about her parole denial. In IWF’s new documentary mini-series, Cruel & Unusual Punishment: The Male Takeover of Female Prisons, current and formerly incarcerated women, along with insiders and whistleblowers from the correctional world, are bravely sharing the fallout of policies that allow male offenders—including convicted sex offenders—to declare themselves “women” and be housed with females.
