Laura Purviance 11/6/2017 Hello, my name is Laura and I'm currently serving my 50-life sentence in the largest womens prison in the world, CCWF. When I commited my crime at 24 years old, I was totally ignorant to our justice system and the conditions of confinement people face in jail and prison. I have a terrible knack for learning things the hard way. I'm 29 now, and next year when I turn 30 I'll have both an elderly parole date and a youth offender parole date. Either way I ...

- Submission - pg. 1. Wednesday 7-22-2020 "Hope in Humanity" About two months ago, I began receiving mail from pen pals from different states on the streets who unknowingly helped me revive my faith in humanity at a point in my life when I was losing hope in humanity and today’s society. What I mean by saying “today’s society” is that; people in general seem to have lost their sense of empathy and sympathy for other humans from what I see on the news, which depresses me. Without peo...

No Title I am a slavery abolitionist! Today here in America and especially here in Alabama we have an issue that exist and has existed since the birth of our nation - that issue is slavery. Many individuals have labled this issue under a misconception and call it "mass incarceration". Mass incarceration is not what we are fighting - we are fighting slavery, servitude, bondage, enslavement. All of which is defined as a wearisome drudgery. The 13th Amendment of the United States did n...

I have spent 8 of my last 11 years in an incarcerated situation. Looking back over my life, it is hard to believe I have come to this point. Yet in retrospect, I can clearly see where my alcoholism and drug addiction led me to make some poor choices in my life, and I certainly didn't heed the warning signs that are so clear to me now.

From what I've been told she was small and timid. After being used and abused here in prison and asking repeatedly for help, to be removed from her abusers and being repeatedly refused, she hung herself. She died while I walked the rec yard between the 6-7 o clock hours. When I was told we weren't to...
