Inspiration Behind AB 593
“I’ve worked on a wide variety of issues, but there is none
that is more dear to my heart than the issue of incarcerated victims.
After watching the moving film Sin By Silence,
I decided that action needed to be taken.”
- Assemblywoman Fiona Ma
In 2011, Assemblywoman Fiona Ma attended a screening of Sin by Silence. The result? The Sin by Silence Bill that gives voice to the women who remain trapped behind prison walls. They are lost in the system, and AB 593 gives them the opportunity seek the justice their cases deserve.
