While your experience is by no stretch of the imagination unique as far as being caught-up and caught-out in that particular situation, It is very unique be have been pardon by the president of the United States.

I pray and would love no more to see a national road map to freedom the the enormous number of folks to clear themselves of such horrors. Being an aged woman, and is not only a mother, grand-mother but as well a great-grand-mother, I advocate for changes in the heartless, corrupt judicial system for women. But, being one of forementioned character, I advocate for boys and men. For males are in the mix of my life, and I know first-hand, those same exact situations happen to them as well.

My reference to a road map is just this, there MUST be an unfound (for most) procedure to be developed for the purpose of a universal processionary effect.

There has to be some way to change the concept from “JUST US” to true unadulterated “JUSTICE.”
GODSPEED.

“Smith’s story is pretty shocking and should make for an interesting film.” First an foremost my congradulations to my long lost friend Kemba. I met Kemba at Danbury Correctional Facility back in late 90’s. I myself was moved by her story. Why is because her story is the same story every ghetto girl experiences but is never told or paid attention to. Her story has drawn National attention for specific reasons goes against the natural order of things. She was raised by middle class working parents. The were suppose to be visiting her at Harvard not Danbury. However, I would like to point out there are 100’s of young girls who are raised in the innercity/ projects who’s plight for love and acceptance by men who seem to be able to them out of their perhaps family dynamics, economic poverty, or poor condition of life land them in places they never intended to be. No young girl is born into this world with the thought “i’m going to fall in love with a (thug, drug dealer, hustler, Og, gangster, pimp), what have you. Circumstances in their tender lives bring them them to their inevitable destiny. I guess the amazing thing about Kemba’s story is the metomorphis her life took after prison life and how she was able to turn things around. However, keep in mind again what about the thousands of women in Kemba’s shoes are released from prison daily who have no great upbringing, who have no family foundation, parental support, religious or community support willing to give them jobs? What about the women who really lived the entirety of their life in the hell your attempting to present Kemba’s horrible cirrcumstance as? Tell the story but keep it real cause the issues are deeper than I think even one can imagine!!!!!
