In our first episode of season six, Chelsea Kiefer joins Hollie Marquess to discuss the social dynamics of two 1950s prison riots that took place in the women's prison in Raleigh, North Carolina. While both riots were motivated by very different circumstances, together they demonstrate that these women felt that rioting was the only way they could create change. However, the riots resulted in even less power for these women in an era before the major inmate rights movements.
