She talks about how doctors diagnose criminals as mentally incompetent so they are unfit for their trials. She describes the different types of people that are in mental institutions. Wozencraft talks about how she worked in a prison hospital and saw how women were treated. She discusses forced labor in prisons and how inmates are paid slave wages. Martinson asks Wozencraft to read a passage from the book about a poetry reading in a prison.
