We Will All Have Our Freedom One Day

Keep Going.

‍

Hi my name is Kyra and I’m 27.

‍

It’s my first time in jail, currently serving a sentence of three and a half years. The hardest part was being on remand, not knowing and not having a release date to tell loved ones.

‍

So to everyone on remand, I know it’s hard but hang in there. This broken system can’t keep us forward and even though I’m now sentenced, and I think it’s a long time, I think about others doing even longer.

‍

We will all have our freedom one day, so until then keep your head up, you got this and take it one day at a time.

‍

Thank you for giving us a good read every month.

Homelessness, addiction, no family, turned right back to what got us here in the first place. I think this is a huge problem for especially young vulnerable women to have more support on release!

Over the past 5 years I have completed numerous courses and obtained tickets for forklift – working at heights, confined space, first aid, and test and tag.
