Allegedly Extra Episode | S2E15

What exactly does it mean to be a ward of the state? What happens when children are convicted of murder? What services do pregnant women in prison receive? What factor did race play in Mary's story? All the questions we had after reading Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson, answered tonight. Settle in, grab a drink, and learn a little with us!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions surrounding death of an infant, sexual abuse, and physical abuse.
