Hello Great Shiw! Thanks for what you're doing and the difference it makes in the lives of people who's voices have been limited by their situations! I listened to the episode featuring Patty & Jane Prewitt. I spent the better part of 10 hears fighting along side Jane, The Prewitts, The innocence Project and Patty's army to see her clemency through to completetion. I believe whole heartedly in her innocence and would add, they are far too humble that woman has done more to help incarcerated women in Missouri Penetentaries than anyone since women began going to prison here. Right hand to Jesus ask any ainmate who has ever been prior to 2024, they'll tell you the same. The Injustice of Her story could literally curl your hair. She had every right to be miserable, bitter, and inconsolable, instead she has changed the world and 10s of thousands of people whoms paths crossed hers due to her misfortune much to the benefit of us each. My name is Laura Phillips, formerly inmate #1213152 and I did time with Patty prewitt, who is still like family, a mentor, and a dear friend to me. About p.r.e.a. and the conditions inside I was hoping to add a little experience. My first time down I went from r and o in vandalia (werdcc) to Chillicothe (ccc) after clearing classification. Your first time there is a lot of trial and error and for as many booklets of rules and punishments and videos and verbal tutorials you arr given 1000 uncovered situations will arise. Guess who pay for not knowing something? The same as who is convicted of a crime even if
