I was very happy to hear today, that Mary our new active member...

Is going to the Stop Max conference.

It is easy to be out raged and up-set, when these tragic stories are in the Head lines. It takes a lot of work and will power to keep fighting for 21 months after you lose a loved one so cruelly.

If I had a magic wand that could change the inhuman practice of Solitary confinement and restraints, I would have used it the day after my son Died.

The only way to change things is to get involved, educate, organise, vote for people whom you believe will change things.

Thank you for your support, and encouragement. It is a hard fight.

...remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.  Hebrews 13:3
