“A Letter From USA!”

Ms. Jean, incarcerated for life without parole in state prison SCI. Muncy Pennsylvania, in the United States, had the opportunity to discuss her life experiences. Here is Ms. Jean’s letter! “Thank you to everyone in Australia for allowing Jean’s words to be heard!”

On September, 21, I had the honor of being the guest speaker at SCI Muncy (women’s state prison in Pennsylvania, US), graduation. Most humbling! An emotionally driven day, and so wonderful for the women, of all ages to reunite and celebrate their personal achievement/s with their loved ones. “Thank you” Superintendent Nicholas (to my right), the Principal of Education Dr. Rider (my left), but most of all, “every woman who graduated on the day, for allowing me to join their special celebration and also meet their family and friends. I am forever grateful to you, and will never forget your 2023 graduation!”

Jean is incarcerated for life without parole (LWOP) in SCI-Muncy, Pennsylvania’s women’s maximum security prison in the United States. Here she reflects upon her message to others, which she also provided in her podcast episode.
