Strength in Advocacy: Refusing to Back Down


Every day, the fight to expose the realities of the prison system and advocate for those trapped within it feels more urgent. November brings with it a renewed sense of determination for me. The more I uncover, the stronger my resolve to continue shedding light on what happens behind those walls. Advocacy isn’t easy; it’s messy, frustrating, and exhausting — but I won’t back down.

As I continue to push for change, I’m reminded that this fight isn’t just about my husband’s rights; it’s about the systemic failures that affect so many others like him. With each letter sent to officials, each phone call made, and each email fired off, I realize just how vast the neglect and disregard truly are. The system is designed to be impenetrable, relying on the silence of those within and the ignorance of those on the outside. But what if we refuse to be silent? What if we break that cycle?

Recently, I’ve seen more examples of how the system fails — not only my husband but countless others. Men and women struggling to survive, denied basic medical care, facing retaliation for speaking up, and left without hope of true rehabilitation. These are individuals, human beings with lives and families, who deserve more than what this broken system provides.

I refuse to let fear or exhaustion keep me from speaking up. In fact, every challenge I face, every setback, only fuels my drive to keep going. This isn’t just my fight; it’s our fight — a fight for justice, dignity, and the belief that people can change if given a real chance. For those who read my posts, your support, your voices, and your willingness to see the truth are part of this journey.

Let’s continue to stand together, speak louder, and demand that the prison system changes. Real change requires resilience and the courage to keep pushing, even when the obstacles feel overwhelming.

“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” — Amos 5:24
