February 24, 2016 — The Wyoming Department of Corrections (DOC) and the University of Wyoming are cooperating on a project that may lead to a long-term plan to provide education and other services to currently and formerly incarcerated women in Wyoming. The DOC encouraged faculty in the UW Gender and Women’s Studies Program to develop the Wyoming Pathways from Prison Project to identify needs and develop the plan. UW researchers conducted in-depth interviews with more than 70 incarcerated women and women on probation to determine challenges to community reintegration faced by women at the Wyoming Women’s Center (WWC) in Lusk. This collaboration included Gender and Women's Studies faculty members Cathy Connolly, Susan Dewey and Bonnie Zare, along with Rosemary Bratton, founder and director of the Hilde Project that provides education and support services for disenfranchised women, and American studies graduate student Rhett Epler. “These are women who have landed harder than most of us have when we made our bad choices,” Dewey says. “As a community, we need to think about ways to provide support, and I think we can do it in the long term. As part of our (UW’s) mandate to serve the state, we have an obligation to serve all of our citizens, and we are seeking faculty to commit to this; there are opportunities to offer distance instruction to overcome the travel required to get to Lusk.” Read More. |
