Tenacious : art & writings by women in prison. Issue 37, Fall 2016.

17 women in prisons across the United States share their stories and experiences of life behind bars. Middle-aged women recount arriving in prison as teenagers and how they got through the initial hopelessness and despair; a teen writes about turning 19 in solitary confinement; trans women share their experiences of being locked in a men's prison; and more.

"Tenacious is a zine of art and writings by women incarcerated across the United States. Through essays, articles, poetry and drawing, each woman shares aspects of life behind bars, ranging from medical care (or lack of care), trying to get an education while in prison, sexual harassment by prison staff and general prison conditions, pregnancy and parenting in prison. Tenacious covers subjects like medical care (or lack of care), trying to get an education while in prison, sexual harassment by prison staff and general prison conditions, pregnancy and parenting behind bars."--From POC Zine Project. https://poczineproject.tumblr.com/tenaciouszine
