Today, the fight for my husband’s freedom took a major leap forward. And I need you with me now more than ever.

This morning, my hands trembled a little as I sealed three large envelopes—each one packed with 43 pages of truth, testimony, and a desperate plea for mercy. These weren’t just documents… they were pieces of our story, pieces of our hope, and pieces of Ryan’s heart.

Those three envelopes are now officially on their way to:

  • The Department of Justice
  • President Donald Trump at the White House
  • His administration committee in New York

These clemency packets represent everything we’ve been fighting for—every sleepless night, every tear shed, every prayer whispered. They are now out of my hands and into the hands of those who have the power to change the course of Ryan’s life forever.

And now, we wait.
And we pray.
And we hope with everything we’ve got.

Advocating for Ryan isn’t easy—because telling the truth about his past means reliving pain that most people wouldn’t survive.

Ryan grew up in a home where trauma was woven into the walls. Addiction, dysfunction, and survival became second nature to him before he ever had the chance to become a man. Prison became his “normal”—his only sense of structure, his only place of comfort, twisted as that may sound.

And yet… here he is today, choosing to be different. Choosing to heal. Choosing to rise.

He’s no longer clinging to toxic family ties that helped destroy him.
He’s no longer stuck in the cycle of drugs, hustling, and running from the law.
He’s now a husband—my husband. And he’s learning every day that there’s a life beyond those prison walls and broken streets.

He’s building something new with me—a life rooted in faith, accountability, love, and purpose.

His belief in God has been growing stronger by the day, and with it, a fight inside of him that I’ve never seen before. That fight is real. That growth is real. And the man he’s becoming deserves to be seen—not as a criminal, but as a soul who finally knows his worth.

So now, we ask for one thing: prayer.

Pray that these letters are read by the right people.
Pray that Ryan’s story pierces the hearts of decision-makers.
Pray that the chains of judgment break under the weight of mercy.

This isn’t just about policy or politics—it’s about redemption. It’s about a man who never had a fair chance finally finding the strength to live differently. And it’s about a system that should recognize when a person is no longer who they once were.

To everyone who’s been walking this road with me—thank you. Your support means everything. Your encouragement keeps me going. Your prayers lift us up. And your belief in second chances is what gives stories like ours a fighting shot.

I’ll keep you all updated every step of the way. And no matter how this turns out, please know this—we will never stop fighting for freedom, for fairness, and for the kind of world where transformation is not just possible, but honored.

Exposing the Deadly Reality at La Palma Correctional Facility: How Many More Have to Die?

For years, La Palma Correctional Facility in Eloy, Arizona, has been a hotspot for controversy, yet little has been done to address the rampant corruption, officer misconduct, and systemic failures that have turned it into a living hell for those incarcerated within its walls. Most recently, another inmate has died—one of many whose deaths could have been prevented if those in charge had taken real action instead of covering up their negligence. On January 2, 2025, I fought to have my husband moved out of La Palma due to the sheer volume of drugs flooding the yard, which were being brought in by correctional officers. I reported specific names to the Special Security Unit (SSU), thinking that doing the right thing would bring change. Instead, my concerns fell on deaf ears. Now, here we are, with more inmates losing their lives—many of these deaths are suspected overdoses, yet little to no investigation ever seems to result in actual change. A History of Negligence and Deaths This lates...

The Beating You Weren’t Supposed to See: A Former AZDOC Officer Speaks Out

  Let me tell you something right now — that viral 3-minute video Fox 10 Phoenix aired last week? That wasn’t the whole story. That was just the tip of the blood-soaked iceberg. As a former Arizona Department of Corrections Officer, I know exactly what you're looking at in that video. You’re seeing the tail end of a brutal, calculated beatdown that started long before the cameras started rolling. That inmate? He’d already been dragged, pummeled, and bled out — by the time he was being chased down the entire length of the prison yard like a damn scene out of a gladiator movie. Fox 10’s report referred to it as a fight that “spilled out into the prison yard.” SPILLED OUT? Like someone knocked over a soda. No — this wasn’t some spontaneous scuffle. That man was hunted . Let’s Break Down the Bullsh*t Donna Hamm’s Comment: “The inmates are running the asylum, and that's not what the taxpayers in Arizona are paying for.” Newsflash: the inmates have always run the yard. Th...

Doing Time on the Outside: The Reality of Being a Prison Wife

"So I know prison wives get a lot of heat from people that don’t understand the life. It’s sad. But we struggle too. We’re serving time too. As much as I love and trust my husband, I will always fact check. These men are survivors with survivor mentality. They’re not in prison for being stand up men 😂 in fact, mine went in a liar and addict. In order to save money, I ask questions. If protecting myself and going behind his back to confirm, oh well. I’ll protect me since he didn’t, wouldn’t and couldn’t… and this is a safe place for LO’s to be able to come together and gather facts without shaming and blaming. A lot of times people will say 'why be with him if you don’t trust him?' That’s fair. But has anyone been in love before 😂 None of us woke up one day and said I’d love to marry a felon. Yet, here we are. I wake up everyday hoping he’d change his lifestyle 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just want women to know it’s okay to be a little on edge. A little apprehensive and untrustworthy. It’...
