Idaho Matters Goes To Prison: Meeting The Warden

Samantha Wright

Boise State Public Radio
South Boise Women's Correctional Center warden Noel Barlow-Hust.

Originally broadcast October 25, 2018.

There were 311 women prisoners at the South Boise Women's Correctional Center on the day we visited in August. It's a minimum security facility. We wanted to find out more about a women's prison, and about the woman who runs it. On a windy day outside the prison, Noel Barlow-Hust opened up about why she became warden and why women are different from men behind bars.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
