“Thank you for telling the truth,” Willette Benford told me, after reading my recent article for Truthout. It was one of the best compliments I’ve received in a while. Willette was one of the 200 women who were subjected to a mass strip search by the Orange Crush, a notorious band of prison guards, in 2011 at Lincoln Correctional Center.
Great work, Brian. These stories need to be told.
