Welcome to SWOP Behind Bars Stories, the official podcast of SWOP Behind Bars—a national organization supporting incarcerated and formerly incarcerated sex workers and trafficking survivors.

Hosted by activists, advocates, and survivors, this podcast brings you powerful, unfiltered stories from behind the razor wire: tales of survival, resistance, resilience, and the fight for dignity in a system designed to disappear us.

Each episode lifts the voices of those most impacted by criminalization and incarceration—sex workers, queer folks, people of color, and others navigating cages, courts, and carceral ”care.” We share real-life experiences, expose the myths behind “rescue,” and highlight the radical work being done to build safety, justice, and freedom from the inside out.

Whether you’re an ally, an advocate, or someone who knows these stories all too well—we’re glad you’re here.

Subscribe, listen, and share. These are the stories they tried to silence.
