Infuriating. Not least for how FREQUENTLY Black women are jailed for surviving violence. A comrade, Alisha Walker of Support Ho(s)e, was also incarcerated for surviving her rapist. Cyntoia Brown, Marissa Alexander, Tracey McCarter. As if the law hasn't changed since Missouri v. Celia. Different stories, same structures. The restitution really makes it more explicit. Always grateful for the work of Survived & Punished and Support Ho(s)e. And for your writing.

Wow. I’m speechless both at the injustice she endured and her response.
