Evie Litwok

executive director, Witness to Mass Incarceration

Evie Litwok is a 71-year-old formerly incarcerated Jewish lesbian and the child of two survivors of the Holocaust. These intersections had a great impact during her incarceration at two federal women’s prisons and in the time she spent in solitary confinement. Evie formed her nonprofit, Witness to Mass Incarceration (WITNESS), to place the voices of formerly incarcerated people of color, indigenous people, and LGBTQIA2S individuals at the forefront of the movement to end mass incarceration. WITNESS works to restore safety, dignity, and respect in correctional facilities and reduce barriers to successful re-entry.
