Skylark Project on Iowa Public Radio
Some inmates at the Iowa Women’s Prison at Mitchelville didn’t receive fair sentences because they were in abusive relationships. That’s according to domestic violence advocates. In a program called Project Skylark, they are trying to reduce the prison terms of women who commited crimes in cooperation with abusive partners. And the judicial system is taking a new look at the so-called “girlfriend crimes.”
