Too many people profit from sending prisoners out of state, By Rena Morningstar Blumberg Haleakala Times (October 24, 2006)  

Kokua Council: September 25, 2006. Program: Kat Brady: Women Behind Bars. Kat Brady serves as Coordinator of the Community Alliance on Prisons, a community initiative working on developing effective interventions for Hawaii’s offenders and to improve the quality of justice in Hawaii. She is the only community member of the Judiciary Intermediate Sanctions Working Group and is a justice advocate who is activity engaged in bringing the community voice into venues where it has rarely been heard. She also works to increase public participation into reforming public policy. Her areas of focus include environmental, cultural, gender, juvenile and social justice issues.

"Reaching the New Untouchables: Women Who Use Drugs" will be the keynote talk Wednesday at the annual dinner meeting of the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii (2006). Corinne Carey, deputy director of Break the Chains: Communities of Color and the War on Drugs in New York, will be the keynote speaker, according to the drug policy group. "We have to stop thinking of women and substance abuse as mothers, or pregnant women, or women who are being abused," Carey said in the news release. "We need to view them as people who need help, specifically from the growing tide of methamphetamine addiction." Her organization's mission is to replace punitive drug polices with alternative policies that promote racial justice, public health and human rights, according to a news release from the forum. The event at the Japanese Cultural Center also will present the Drug Policy Forum's Ho'omaluhia (Peacemaker) Award to Dr. Tricia Wright, an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine, for starting Hawaii's first perinatal clinic for women who abuse substances.
