The Power of Perseverance in Advocacy

Each day I’m reminded why I started this journey of advocacy. Standing up against a system that fails so many isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. There’s a strength that comes from persevering, even when faced with resistance and setbacks. This strength isn’t just for me — it’s for my husband, for every inmate denied basic rights, and for the families on the outside left to pick up the pieces.

The more I speak out, the more I uncover how deeply ingrained the neglect and mistreatment are. It’s clear that our prison system is designed to break rather than build. Instead of providing support and resources for true rehabilitation, inmates are often left in conditions that worsen their health, strip away their dignity, and take away any hope of change. This isn’t just a failure of policy; it’s a failure of humanity.

My husband’s journey has opened my eyes to these issues in a personal way, but I know he’s far from alone in this struggle. Every phone call, every letter, and every outreach effort I make is a small step in bringing these injustices to light. I’ve reached out to officials, news outlets, and advocacy organizations — anyone who can help create change. But change doesn’t come from one person alone; it requires the strength of a community willing to see beyond the walls and demand better.

To those who have supported this journey, thank you. Your encouragement and shared voices strengthen this fight and show that we don’t have to accept this broken system. Together, we can hold institutions accountable and push for a future where rehabilitation, dignity, and justice are the standards, not the exceptions.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9
