I interview author and queer historian Hugh Ryan about his latest book, "The Women's House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison," out in paperback Friday, May 5th. We discuss the history of the Women's House of Detention, its impact on queer life in New York City, and its long-lasting impact on the American prison system.
