Bridg, Keep reading, keep researching, keep writing! I have sobbed over the Innocence stories in John Grisham and Jim McKloskey’s book “Framed”. There are hundreds if not thousands of these stories,,,, they must be told! Thank you for sharing from the bottom of your heart - I know the pain from my angle not yours 🥲 Praying since day one for our boy to come home! 💙
Superbly written and all your posts should be mandatory reading in local, county and state police departments and government offices, schools, etc…. The entire population is affected and needs to be educated!!!
It’s maddening how addicts are treated in this country. Are we still operating in the era of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps?” I thought there was reform of the Reagan era War on Drugs laws?
We have come a long way in understanding addiction but it has not, unfortunately, translated to sentencing guidelines nor prison system change. We're still steeped in the old punishment paradigm.
Thank you for reading, and for sharing with others who might need to know they're not alone. 🖤

That book, and the Wrongful Conviction podcast, has broken my heart and rearranged my thinking on our "justice" system. It's "Just A System."
Perfectly said Mom! Keep going Bridget! And I’ll continue to pray every day. 🙏

I do so appreciate this. The truth must be told. 🖤
