Since she was young, Noel Malloy struggled with how to channel her anger. Her usual response was to fight. During one of her first terms in prison, she met a boxing coach who tried to help. But then, while sparring with an opponent, Noel went too far and was kicked out of the ring.
Recently, during her current term in prison, she found inspiration in another person who helped her practice self control. Uncuffed’s Koi Bagnerise, a producer at the California Institution for Women, talked to Noel about her struggle to manage her anger.
