On the industrial south side of Billings, Montana, down the street from the Montana Women’s Prison, rests a converted three-story hotel that looks, at first, a bit like a nursing home. The building is home to Passages, one of eight privately-owned pre-release facilities in Montana and one of only two exclusively for women.⁠
⁠
The pre-release center is a lot like a prison. To live at Passages means to submit a 24-hour schedule for each day, subject to approval, accounting for every single minute, around the clock. There’s little privacy. Residents’ mail is screened. Their possessions are rigorously inventoried. They are allowed exactly six bras and three religious items requiring special handling. Residents work regular jobs in Billings when they’re not confined to the center’s walls. ⁠
⁠
The pre-release program effectively makes women inmates and low-wage workers at the same time, requiring them to hold a full-time job in order to pay off their debts to the program, and hopefully start saving enough money to get their own apartments. Either role is difficult, but trying to do both at once is mentally and physically crushing.⁠
