Johnson has walked in your shoes. Prior to her sentence, she had never been to prison. She came from an upper-middle-class family with absolutely no experience with jail or incarceration, and nothing in her background prepared her for what she found on the other side of the gate. After successfully navigating twelve years inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system, she now works as a consultant and publisher, dedicating her life to passing on the tools, grace, and strategies needed to survive and thrive through incarceration.
