Women’s Prison & The If Project: Part 1

Rachel visited the Washington Correction Center For Women in Gig Harbor, and this is the first part of a three part series on the stories she collected there. She focuses on The If Project, a project started by a Seattle police detective and an inmate named Renata. Inmates are asked this question: If there was something somebody could have said or done to change the path that led you here, what would it have been? And answering it helps them figure out why they led a life of crime and hopefully change themselves for the better.

I had only read the lyrics to the song before the show, so I was rather dismissive of it. Then I heard it on TBTL and realized that you can only really feel it's healing power when that beautiful country/rap music fills your ears.

Also Jen discusses the latest evidence that she has lost her women's intuition, Jimmy Fallon is officially taking over the Tonight Show. As somebody who was personally devastated by the Conan situation I'm just thrilled that the Chin is on the chopping block. Also I think Jimmy Fallon has already mastered the most important part of being a Tonight Show host, appealing to octogenarians.
