Summary:

These are the voices of one hundred women prisoners of the War on Drugs. Locked inside FCI Tallahassee under unyielding federal drug sentencing guidelines, these women are held alongside hardened criminals. Their crimes are non-violent and frequently victimless. They are mothers, daughters, sisters, and victims. These are their stories in their own words. The Tallahassee Project is an unnerving portrait of the unfair attack on America's families by the contemptible War on Drugs. Read these stories and decide for yourself who the War on Drugs is really fighting and at what cost that battle is waged.
