She survived years in a CA prison under a LWOP sentence, transforming her pain into powerful choices. And she survived -- and is thriving -- after her sentence was commuted by Gov. Brown in 2017. Join us on Just Justice for Kelly's powerful story. Warning: violence, child loss and trauma.

Thanks for sharing this! I wrote all about the daycare hysteria cases in my book. It's wild to look back in the damage caused to innocent people wrongly convicted of crimes that never happened.

Despite the dangers faced by these firefighter prisoners, they earn a maximum of $10.24 for an entire day’s work, plus an extra dollar an hour in case of emergencies. Upon their release, most can not be hired as firefighters because of their criminal records.

The crime decline is very significant. Is this research based on victim self-reports, reports filed with police, arrests for property theft, or actual convictions?

Prison and lost freedom are punishment enough. And yet we keep finding ways of adding layers and layers of unnecessary ways to make people who are behind bars suffer more.

It's also just wrong. The death penalty is wrong. For everyone.

Agreed. If the death penalty is wrong (and it is), then it wrong for all.
