If God had a group chat with the angels about me.....

God:

“Alright, team. Status update on My daughter.”

Angel 1:
“She hasn’t quit.”

Angel 2:
“Still showing up for her husband every single day. Even when she’s tired. Even when she’s scared. Even when she feels like she’s running on fumes.”

Angel 3:
“She cries at night sometimes… but she gets up the next morning and fights again.”

Angel 4:
“She’s stronger than she thinks. She calls it survival. We call it faith.”

God:
“She thinks I don’t see the quiet parts.”

Angel 2:
“Oh, but we do. The way she rereads old messages. The way she stares at the phone after a call ends. The way she prays when panic creeps in.”

Angel 1:
“And the way she still believes in redemption. After everything.”

Angel 3:
“She carries other people’s burdens too. Not just her own.”

Angel 4:
“She advocates. She questions systems. She pushes when it would be easier to stay quiet.”

Angel 1 (laughing softly):
“She has a little Beth Dutton fire in her.”

And God would probably smile at that one.

God:
“She doesn’t realize her loyalty is shaping generations.”

Angel 2:
“She thinks she’s just ‘being a wife.’”

Angel 3:
“No. She’s modeling covenant.”

Angel 4:
“She worries she’s not doing enough.”

God:
“She is exactly where I need her.”

God:
“Tell her this — I’m not done writing her story. And the middle never looks like the ending.”

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...

Inside the Lewis Bachman Unit: A Call for Reform

The Lewis Prison Complex, located in Buckeye, Arizona, comprises eight units, including the Bachman Unit, where my husband is currently incarcerated. This unit houses inmates under protective custody, ranging from minimum to medium security levels, with a capacity of 752 inmates across four dormitory-style buildings. ( corrections.az.gov ) Systemic Issues Plaguing the Facility Over the years, the Lewis Complex has been marred by numerous incidents that highlight systemic issues within its walls: Contraband Infiltration: In January 2025, a correctional officer named Berman Comon was arrested for allegedly smuggling drugs and contraband cellphones into the Rast Unit of Lewis Prison. Comon, who had served as a counselor for 11 years, reportedly received $5,000 per trip to bring in the illicit items. ( abc15.com ) Inmate Unrest: In November 2018, surveillance footage revealed inmates in the Rast Max Unit setting fires outside their cells, leading to the evacuation of the entire unit. Thi...
