“And because I gained those things, I began to love myself. And when I started loving myself, I believed I could be accountable and love others, like my family, and care about others.”

Mohala Wahine’s first six graduates were honored in June 2025. A total of 11 women have completed the program, with 30 additional participants currently enrolled.

Five women. Five journeys of resilience, healing, and transformation. 🪷✨

The graduation of the second cohort of Hawaiʻi’s Mohala Wahine program is more than a ceremony, it’s proof that formerly incarcerated women thrive when they are met with support instead of punishment alone. Through trauma-informed care, sisterhood, accountability, and access to resources, these women rebuilt their lives by maintaining sobriety, securing housing and employment, completing treatment programs, and investing in their futures.

Programs like Mohala Wahine remind us that rehabilitation is possible when women are given the tools to heal, grow, and reclaim their power. Formerly incarcerated women deserve opportunities, community, and pathways to restoration—not lifelong barriers.

The Southeast has an opportunity and an obligation to lead differently.
We must move beyond punishment-based systems and toward policies rooted in public health, human dignity, restorative justice, and evidence-based care.
I urge state legislators throughout the Southeast to:
First, establish mandatory standardized data collection and public reporting requirements across all jails, prisons, and detention facilities, particularly regarding pregnancy, deaths in custody, solitary confinement, healthcare access, and use of force.
Second, create independent oversight bodies and accountability mechanisms with authority to investigate deaths, abuse, medical neglect, and unconstitutional conditions within all carceral institutions.
Third, end the incarceration of pregnant and postpartum individuals, primary caregivers, aging persons, and people with medical vulnerabilities whenever possible and expand community-based alternatives to incarceration.
Fourth, prohibit the use of shackling and solitary confinement during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, aging persons, and people with medical vulnerabilities.
Fifth, drastically reduce the use of solitary confinement overall, and recognize prolonged isolation as a violation of human rights.
Sixth, invest in community-based healthcare, mental health treatment, housing, restorative justice, and diversion programs instead of incarceration.
And finally, center the voices and leadership of directly impacted people in policymaking decisions, research, oversight, and reform efforts. Those closest to the harm are closest to the solutions.
Data alone does not create justice. But without transparency, accountability, and standardized reporting, injustice remains hidden.
Human dignity must not end at a prison gate. As the South goes, the Nation goes. 🧩

My name is Pamela Winn. I am the Founder and President of RestoreHER US.America, a registered nurse, a formerly incarcerated Black woman and a survivor of human rights abuses within the United States criminal legal system.
I speak to you today not only as a survivor, but as a voice for over a million people across the Southeastern United States whose humanity continues to be harmed by a criminal legal system that lacks accountability, transparency, standardization, and dignity. Across Southern states, we continue to see some of the highest incarceration rates in the nation, alongside some of the poorest health outcomes, highest maternal mortality rates, and greatest racial disparities. Yet despite these alarming realities, there is still no consistent regional or national standardization for how incarcerated people are treated, how data is collected, or how harms are monitored and addressed.
In many Southern jails and prisons, WE DO NOT HAVE RELIABLE PUBLIC DATA, IF ANY AT ALL on:
Pregnant people in custody
Miscarriages and stillbirths during incarceration
Maternal and infant outcomes
Deaths in custody
Solitary confinement usage
Sexual abuse allegations
Mental health crises and su***de attempts
Access to medical and reproductive healthcare
Conditions of confinement
Reentry outcomes for women and families
WHILE WE CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE:
Pregnancy and childbirth in custody under dangerous conditions
Medical neglect and denial of reproductive healthcare
Excessive use of solitary confinement
Inhumane prison conditions
Sexual abuse and exploitation
Criminalization of mental health and substance use
Barriers to housing, employment, healthcare, and voting after release.
These practices violate fundamental human rights principles and international standards, including the Mandela Rules, the Bangkok Rules, and protections against cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.
What is not measured is too often ignored.
The absence of standardized data collection allows harmful practices to continue in silence and prevents policymakers, researchers, and communities from fully understanding the scope of human rights violations occurring within correctional systems.

Pregnant women facing non-violent sentences can defer incarceration under SC Senate bill

A bill that would allow pregnant women convicted of non-violent crimes to defer their prison sentence until after they give birth recently passed the S.C. Senate.

The CARE Act would allow judges to exercise discretion to delay incarceration for pregnant women who do not pose a danger to themselves or the community by placing them on pre-incarceration probation.

The deferment would last throughout the pregnancy and continue for no less than 12 weeks and up to one year after childbirth, at the judge’s discretion.

“This is something that certainly will increase maternal outcomes and baby outcomes,” said lead sponsor Sen. Tameika Isaac Devine, D-Columbia.

The bill passed by a 31-3 margin April 16 with the support of many conservative Republicans.

Senate approval of the measure came during a rare moment of unity for anti-abortion and pro-choice groups in the Statehouse, many of whom spoke during subcommittee hearings in favor of its passage.

“Black Maternal Health Week reminds us that justice-impacted women are too often unseen in conversations about care, dignity, and survival. As a Black woman, a nurse, and someone who has lived this reality, I know that pregnancy should never come with punishment, neglect, or fear. Our bodies are not disposable, and our motherhood is not conditional. Every justice-impacted Black woman deserves compassionate, competent care before, during, and after birth. This is not just about health; it is about human rights. Until we protect the most marginalized Black mothers, we have not achieved justice for any of us.” ~ Pamela Winn

Everyone deserves the opportunity to renew, rebuild, and restore their life! Restoring your life is should not be treated as a privilege, but as your rightful existence.
When we honor that truth, we don’t just change individuals; we transform families, communities, and generations.
