DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE

The latest update on the number of people now incarcerated in the United States from an article in the Tulsa World states that now 1 out of 100 people in the America are currently in prison, the highest number of people in jail in history. How many of these people are in for crimes such as possession of marijuana, or some other drug, who could have performed Community Service and attended Narcotics Anonymous meetings as a way to stay out of prison?

Many women are in prison who have children, and their children are at high risk of someday also going to jail. They need their mothers, and their mothers are not receiving the help to get back out in society and raise their own children.

See my web site at www.brendapartington.com for more information about my E-Book available on the Internet, plus a free 13 chapters of the SECOND book entitled THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH, about what it was like in the toughest maximum security women's prison in Oklahoma. I am speaking for many women who did not need to be there.
