Phillip speaks with powerful advocate Juanita Belton who makes up 1/3rd of the founding group Sistas in Prison Reform (SIP). She advocates along with Paulettra James and Santia Nance out of Virginia.
The Sistas in Prison Reform is a group formed by three women who believe in redemption, rehabilitation, and remorse. They believe that individuals who have served lengthy sentences deserve a second chance. Past mistakes should not define their future lives.Their goal is to raise awareness of those behind the walls. They seek to change the stigma behind those impacted by more serious offenses. SIP believes those incarcerated deserve the right to be reaffirmed in society as productive citizens. More importantly, they are fighting to change the criminal justice system to bring loved ones home.Social media sites:Twitter@thesip2021 – Sistas in Prison Reform@Sinita11_ – J.Bel@YourLovedOneQ – Santia@Nu2You2 – PaulettraEmailThesip2021@gmail.comWebsitehttps://sistasinprisonreform.comTo assist Phillip:Please donate to my Reentry fund!https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Reentry2023To contact Phillip directlySecurus app. Or Securus.com881507 Alvin JonesWashington State#SIP #incarceratedlivesmatter #criminaljustice #family
