On
the prison women
and "Woman is the Word"
- Midge DeLuca, one of the three women
profiled in the film, has been ordered to return to prison after her
release in
July.
An
appeals court initially
ruled that she was eligible
for early release, but the
Supreme Court reversed
that
decision last month.
As a
result, DeLuca's former
seven
year sentence was
reinstated.
DeLuca had become an
advocate for breast cancer
awareness and
started a
program called "Women
for
Women" to teach prisoners
about their rights.
