That story is absolutely heart-breaking. It's funny to me that reading that story, I can just tell I wouldn't like Jasmine Mooney. We wouldn't get along on a personal level. Her humour isn't my kind. Her view of things doesn't line up with how I perceive the world. We wouldn't be friends. And yet, I'm so incredibly moved by her story and I really respect the humility she shows in highlighting the stories of the other women she met in that system. I'm going to share this around, this feels really important.

  You can tell by the deference she displays to oppressive figures like detention guards along the way. This is a total "leopards ate my face" moment.
