I haven’t seen my mom in 21 years. She suffered a lot of abuse and trauma and she is the strongest person I know.

Incarcerated: 21 years
Housed: San Quentin State Prison
I am serving 200 years to life for attempted murder. I haven’t seen my mom in 21 years. She suffered a lot of abuse and trauma and she is the strongest person I know. She makes me laugh every time we talk and says she’s holding on until I come home. I live my life to honor her love without violence. I love you mom! And to all moms and women everywhere, we lift you up. Happy Mother’s Day from the Humans of San Quentin.
