Locked Up Edited Edition

Disbelief. Fear. Anger. Shame. Worry. Guilt. Embarrassment. Jodi Rose's son was arrested just days after his father was released from prison after serving a 20 year sentence. Her years' of experience with incarceration of a loved one should have made dealing with her son's arrest easier. It didn't. She was devastated to learn he faced a possible life sentence. As her son awaited trial in a filthy jail, she began to reach out as a way to cope; she spoke to women in prison and began a Facebook support group for loved ones of prisoners. Locked Up: From Behind Both Sides of the Wire can help you feel less alone if you are incarcerated or have a loved one in prison. It brings together the voices of those serving time and those waiting for them. Jodi Rose, an advocate for prison reform with criminal justice degrees, shares her own story, delves into the emotions of those with locked-up loved ones, and illuminates the prison experience through the poetry, stories, letters, and art work of prisoners themselves.
