The Workhouse: A Scorpio Walks Into a Jail

from Into the Mix · host Ben & Jerry's and Vox Creative

Inez Bordeaux needs you to know three things: she’s a mom of four, a Scorpio, and she always gets her lick back. So when a court error sent her life into a seven year tailspin, she came out swinging on the other side, and set her sights on justice. How? By closing the jail that symbolized the system that nearly buried her: The Workhouse. In this three-part series, we’re taking you to St. Louis to meet Inez and the community of activists, lawyers, and politicians that joined together to close a notorious jail that’s almost as old as the city itself. Please take care, as this episode discusses domestic violence. You can learn more about ArchCity Defenders here.
