Long overdue post: huge thanks to mural arts for this award and especially to Suave Gonzalez who made this extraordinary evening possible. I so honored--especially to be included among such rockstar awardees: Celeste Trusty and Eddie Ramirez.

October 2nd is Wrongful Conviction Day. Women are less than 10% of exonerees. Why? Women face additional hurdles to overturn a wrongful conviction. These include: lack of financial & legal resources, women's cases less likely to involve DNA, women's prisons located further from population centers...

If you're able, please send some encouraging words to Kim Joynes. She's an incarcerated survivor of sexual abuse and gender violence that began in childhood. Yesterday she was turned down for commutation of her LWOP sentence by PA Board of Pardons. She's served over 45 years in prison.

We are heartbroken by the Board of Pardons decision to reject Kim Joynes application for commutation. Kim has been incarcerated for 45+ years & has the support of the PA DOC, as well as a robust network of friends & family ready to support her reentry.

We have spent years working with Kim and her family. She has proven time and time again to be an excellent & deserving candidate for commutation of sentence. #TeamJoynes
In Harrisburg today as Kim Joynes' advocate for commutation. She, along with several other applicants, will be interviewed by members of PA Board of Pardons. It's the most important interview of her life--one that will determine how she will live out her remaining years.
