It’s my first time being inside. My anxiety, fear, depression and mental health are heightened with extra volume.
I have a wall similar to the Gaza wall that keeps me inside and fences that are all around me. A cell that gets locked everyday and ‘count’ that is three times a day, where I must be ready with my ID and be quiet. How the routine of my life has changed.
People make mistakes, we all do. We are humans. And when the system is a broken one, as are yourself…it fails you, and you fail yourself.
Remember: when the mind has been darkened by grief, loss, betrayal – rational thought sometimes loses the battle and mistakes are made. But mistakes are part of us all trying to get back on our feet after everything that has thrown us down!

When I paint, I'm not in prison anymore. I'm lost for hours in my artwork.
I’d think there are a lot of inmates looking for someone to talk to, for some people it might help with the healing process.
Since having my first ever grandson nearly 3 years ago now, it’s made me realise that I not only want to change, but I need to do it not only for myself but for my family.
My name is Jean. I am a wiry spitfire, 65 years young, and incarcerated for the past 24 years with a L.W.O.P. (Life Without Parole) sentence.
