26. Kebreyana

Kebreyana was a sex worker who served 7 years in federal prison for conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking. As a condition of her release she must report for probation for the next 25 years and will register as a sex offender for the rest of her life. We talk about how she ended up in prison, the unique obstacles that sex offenders (especially female sex offenders) face when trying to reintegrate into society and why the criminal justice system needs to approach sexually-classified offenses with less of a broad, punitive brush.  Resources:  https://www.headcount.org/ Vote Save America Residency Restrictions by State (for persons required to register as sex offenders) Human Trafficking Defined - DOJ  2011 Louisiana Laws - Revised Statutes - TITLE 14 — Criminal law - RS 14:46.3 — Trafficking of children for sexual purposes Louisiana State Legislature  Sex Offenders Forced To Live Under Miami Bridge All In A Day's (Sex) Work is produced by Blair Hopkins with research assistance from Heather L.
