Shishmon Bailey discussed how a parole officer lied about him taking drugs he had never even taken before and how he was able to overcome that obstacle after losing everything.

We are asking New Mexicans to share their story about how their own life or the life of a loved one is impacted by America's culture of incarceration.

Share your story, poem, words of encouragement, obstacles you have overcome and the reality of the effects of incarceration.

By sharing our stories and building a stronger community, we will be able to give our loved ones inside the support they need when they return.

Call 877-518-0606 to tell your story in English or 877-525-8273 in Spanish.

This Prison Justice campaign initiative is a partnership between Media Literacy Project, Thousand Kites, La Plazita Institute, El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos and Young Women United.
