Criminal Justice Reform advocate Ross Ulbricht’s mother Founder @cruelsentencing Mothers Against Cruel Sentencing (MACS)







A year ago today @realDonaldTrump kept his pledge and pardoned my son Ross Ulbricht, liberating him from a double life sentence without parole. Sometimes I still must remind myself that Ross is a free man and not condemned to die in a cage. For over 11 years that fate seemed inevitable but, true to his word, President Trump gave my son a second chance at life. When he did, he not only gave Ross a new future, but our family too--for when your loved one is in prison, you are doing time along with them. Not everyone agreed that Ross should be pardoned, but the president recognized how excessive and cruel the sentence was and had the courage to show mercy and end our long nightmare. I will be eternally grateful that he had the strength and compassion to do this. Thank you President Trump, from the bottom of my heart!












Just returned home after dropping my husband @keonne off at FPC Morgantown, to begin serving a 5year prison term for a crime he is innocent of. My first instinct was to reach for my phone to let him know I arrived safely. This is a habit I need to learn to break. I’m uncertain when I will next be able to speak with my husband, as it can take several days for inmates to gain access to the phone system. For now, I will simply have to wait. #pardonsamourai
