Welcome to my first “Federally Yours” post from FCI Tallahassee.
Mental Health Check: IM FOURTEEN HOURS AWAY FROM HOME!!! “This is a light sentence, not a life sentence” and I’m doing everything possible to get home as soon as possible. I’m continuously growing from what I’m going through. I’m grateful for everyone that continues to supports me.
As of Sunday February 23, 2025 I’ve been at a federal facility for one complete week. Moving forward I will be doing a journal entries, at minimum, twice a week, guaranteed every Sunday. I ask all my supporters to share my profile and postings as there posted from the Prison Professors Platform.
During my first week of incarceration, I’ve already seen many needs that should be addressed. We all know the hardest thing to accomplish is fixing our broken system in multiple areas. There is massive room for improvement.
On Thursday February 20, 2025, I created a book list that will expand the minds of every incarcerated woman that our psychology department should acquire. Its no secret that’s the BOP is in first place to implement budget cuts. From teachers in education to food service. Us as inmates are lacking in many areas.
I’ve made it one of my goals to help expand a system in anyway I personally can. Knowledge is power. I’ve heard multiple times, if you want to keep something from people, put it in a book.
The following is a list of books I’m asking to be sent to me at FCI Tallahassee. I know if everyone I’ve touch or encouraged, send me one of the following book from amazon, I will be able to impact people even after I’m released from this facility.
Also I encourage my supporter to find a author from my list and send them this letter,via email or posting to there social media account. Authors and publishing companies are more that welcome to send us reading material that will help us successfully transition back into the community.
