In this episode of Camp Confidential – Beyond the Bars, Cheryl Womack shares her candid observations about the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) in women’s federal prisons. With co-host Katrina McLarin, she unpacks the program’s structure, questions its true effectiveness, and reflects on the psychological toll it can take on inmates.

Drawing from her own experience, Cheryl highlights the urgent need for practical life skills and strong communication training to prepare women for life after release. The conversation also explores the realities of prison drug culture and why support systems—both inside and outside the walls—are essential for successful reintegration.
