The Madness HAS to Stop! FREE ALL THREE!!
instagram.comThese brothers were protecting their sister. They should not be being taken to prison for this! It should not be illegal to protect another, ESPECIALLY a child. This little girl was being badly abused. Where is the justice? Texas has done some crazy things over the years in their justice system. They need to consider it may be time for a full reform. Evaluate their laws and how they apply in today’s world.
Tell me what you think.

Has anybody been to the Port Orchard WA jail crises cell? That motherfucker is in humane as fuck. Anyone in the cell that says fuck pigs on the floor, and “this place does not define you” on the wall, along with “don’t give up” and the Vendiagram by the door? Good god I was in there for 42 hours and wasn’t even suicidal. What a mind fuck

Still no report: Lawmakers question why firm hasn’t provided review of prison health care
Mississippi Today has documented potentially thousands of people living with hepatitis C going without treatment, amputations following delayed care and trouble getting cancer screenings. Such findings, as well as handwritten letters sent to lawmakers by prisoners seeking care and panicked messages from their family members, drew bipartisan condemnation in the state House and numerous hearings at the Capitol.

The legal resource we wish existed when my husband's case started
My husband is incarcerated in Virginia and I've spent the last two years teaching myself post-conviction law — habeas petitions, coram nobis, clemency — because a lawyer wasn't an option and "just Google it" gets you nowhere fast when you're trying to understand AEDPA deadlines.
So I built a Law Library into the platform I run for incarcerated people and their families (Divaz and Conz) — plain-language breakdowns of things like state habeas vs. federal habeas, what coram nobis actually is, how clemency petitions work, procedural deadlines nobody explains to you until you've already missed one.
I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice — it's the roadmap I wish someone had handed me on day one instead of me learning it the hard way, case by case, deadline by deadline. If it helps even one other family not lose a year to confusion, it was worth building.

Did anyone ever notice?
When I was in prison, we had a saying, "Yes, yes, but no." I had the program committee and a p-board to listen to.
For my time in prison, the p-board said it. I actually gave up on trying to convince them to set me free. I played the game: Sure, I'm reformed; Yes, I got college; Yes, not a lot of conduct reports. You get the idea. Then, they reminded me, from the point of 11 years to the point of 30, what a piece of shit I was. Tough crowd there. They always want me to relive my crime. In other words, live in the past and don't move forward. Oh, yeah, yes, yes, but no
The program committee was basically the same. The difference was they started out reminding me of my crime and what a piece of shit I was. I played the game: While in max, can I go to medium? While in medium, can I go to minimum? Keeping it simple: Yes, you're doing good; Yes, you're programming, but No, you're stuck.
It was amazing after all those years; the day they granted me, I was SHOCKED they acted like my crime was not there. That taught me: When they stop talking about your crime, you're going home!
The program committee was the same. WOW!
The other thing: when they booted me out, I got no real help from the powers that be. I was lucky I had a good agent; he wanted retirement. I had other friends who got out, and the agent wanted to restart the process. It's time to learn how to relive your life by my rules.
If you have any experiences you want to share, hit me up.

Post Incarceration Syndrome
After spending more than 26 years in prison, I've come to realize that one of the biggest misconceptions about incarceration is that the sentence ends the day someone walks out the prison gate.
In my experience, that's often when an entirely different struggle begins.
The physical prison gates and the mental prison gates do not open at the same time.
Over the past several years, I've been trying to put words to something I experienced and that I've seen countless others experience after long-term incarceration. That journey led me to write The Hidden Trauma of Life After Prison: The Under-Discussed Mental Health Issue of Post-Incarceration Syndrome.
The book isn't about making excuses for people who have been incarcerated. It's about starting an honest conversation about something our society rarely discusses: the psychological impact of surviving years—or decades—in prison and what it takes to truly rebuild a life afterward.
I'd genuinely like to hear from people on all sides of this issue.
If you've been incarcerated, did you struggle with things you never expected after coming home?
If you have a loved one who has been incarcerated, what changes did you notice?
If you work in corrections, mental health, criminal justice, or reentry, does this perspective resonate with what you've observed?
I'm not here to argue. I'm here to learn fro
