About Time,
Being in here is a massive change to my family and those around me.
We can't always do what we want – some of us are programmed to do our day-to-day chores or jobs and responsibilities.
However, if you are determined enough, you can accomplish anything.
I understand that people have done a lot in my life to better my future – that includes my whole family. And for that I am so grateful to all. "God is good to us all.”
I have enough time to come to a point in my life where I can make a new and fresh start by making it up to my children. Getting a job and actually being in work clothes on the outside, brothers and sisters, is something that makes me excited for our futures.
Sorry if I sound like I'm bragging, but I want to yarn at the same time.
Once my younger sister said to me: “You’re a leader, not a follower.”
Very true to her and my words together. With that it has accomplished more than I can ever dream of.
I can say now our prayers for my family have brought us through the tests and trials we all sometimes have to endure. With all that said and done, thanks be to God above, who recognised me and my family.
We can start to mend each other's hearts, as our parents taught us, and for me our rocks so that we can move forward, and I personally hope they take the life God wants us to have so we can stay humbled and look out for each other.

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.
