Dear About Time,
My name is Appollonia.
I have been in and out of prison since 2016. My life has been a roller coaster. I didn’t grow up knowing about prison life, but I got on meth after high school, mixed in with the wrong crowd.
I was 18 when I first came to prison.
I am now 29. I’ve spent 10 years in and out.
As a mother, I didn’t raise my son and I regret the last 10 years. Now my son is 9.
The first time I saw him after 5 years broke my heart. Seeing my son makes me want to change and be a mother to him. I have now made the choice to go to rehab.
I want to change because I don’t want prison to be home anymore.
I am willing to give my best to stay out and settle down.
I would like to get out of prison and own my own business to help others who needed support, because when I got out I didn’t have the support I need.
I want to thank the staff at West Kimberley Regional Prison for the support on my journey to recovery.
Love, hope, faith, dream and peace.
