Media Inquiries

Members of the media wishing to speak to WPA staff regarding WPA direct services, policy, research, or any issues relating to women and criminal justice may contact Sarah From at 646-336-6100, ext. 7749 or sfrom@wpaonline.org.

Members of our staff are available to speak with the media about a variety of criminal justice-related topics. WPA has extensive experience providing direct services to criminal justice-involved women. This gives us a unique perspective on policy issues related to the criminal justice and other public systems.

WPA’s Institute on Women & Criminal Justice works to create more effective approaches to dealing with women in the criminal justice system; Institute staff are available to discuss criminal justice-related research and policy with journalists.

“Women in prison aren’t who people think they are. When the public becomes aware of the real faces and stories of incarcerated women, they will demand public policy that addresses a broader range of issues more effectively. That’s the only way we’ll ever get decent criminal justice or social justice legislation.”
–Ann Jacobs, WPA Executive Director, July 1997
