Set aside a little time to read this incredible story about my phenomenal colleague Mary Price and her life-saving inside helper. There are angels among us. FAMM Foundation magazine.atavist.com/the-quality-of…
Staff at FAMM Foundation were inundated with hundreds of calls and emails from people seeking compassionate release or inquiring about the process for loved ones behind bars.
One inquiry stood out: It was written by a prisoner on behalf of someone else.

This month's The Atavist Magazine is the gutwrenching story of Gary Settle, who has helped dozens of his fellow prisoners receive compassionate release in their last days—and who is dying himself. Anna Altman delivered a really stunning piece.

'Gary Settle described compassionate release as 'a process I trust and believe in that failed me.' With his own path foreclosed, Settle will likely die in prison.' Incredible read by Anna Altman in the The Atavist Magazine magazine.atavist.com/the-quality-of…
This extraordinary story by Anna Altman profiles a terminally ill man serving a life sentence who's helped dozens of other people leave prison on compassionate release grounds. I had the privilege of fact-checking it for the treasure that is The Atavist Magazine.

Please read this & share it widely! Younger caregivers: you are not alone!
Like Feylyn Lewis, PhD - She/her when I was in my late teens & early 20s professionals treated me as the only young caregiver out there. We have a long way to go, but grateful for nuanced stories like this
