Where Are Their Voices?

Some of my friends and I have been working on publishing an anthology of Asian prisoners' writings. We've received many submissions from mail prisoners, but none from the females.

According to data on individuals in "correctional institutions" from the 2000 census, Asian female prisoners represent 0.74% in the U.S. and 2.19% in California.

Although the Asian female prisoner population is extremely low, it would be educational to hear their stories. They should not be neglected.
