American Women Making History and Culture: 1963-1982
Description: 

A documentary on the physical and emotional reality of incarceration, profiling a young woman whose father had her locked up at the age of fourteen for "incorrigibility." The "incorrigibility" stemmed from her work with young Chicano migrant families, of which her father disapproved. Since his beatings couldn't set her straight, the state tried solitary confinement and Thorazine on and off for a period of four years. She describes how she finally submitted to the physical power of the institution guards and the dulling drugs which allowed her not to feel. Produced by the Women's Prison Collective. The program is dedicated to a California Death Row inmate who was first incarcerated at the age of eleven.

Audio file QC (Pass One) notes: 
Sound only on right channel on CD, but after I ripped the CD and mixed it down to a new file, the sound is now in both channels. Hiss and buzz throughout the recording. Folio notes say this features the music of Holly Near and others but there's no music in the recording we have. Editing is a little choppy.
