We should be coming at addiction from a compassionate sense and giving these people connection, not separation from society.
Imagine being a successful professional, only to find yourself ensnared in the federal justice system. That's the reality Holli Coulman faced, and in this gripping episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', she opens up about her incredible journey. Host Sean Dustin sits down with Holli, who recounts her harrowing experiences, from her conviction for wire fraud to her 15 months in a women's federal prison camp and two months in solitary confinement.
Holli doesn't just share her story; she sheds light on the systemic issues plaguing the federal prison system. Ever heard of ghost dope conspiracy charges? These controversial charges have unfairly trapped countless individuals in inflated sentences for victimless crimes. Holli also talks about the rampant prosecutorial misconduct and overreach that complicate the lives of many inmates. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Holli's resilience shines through as she discusses becoming a paralegal to better understand the law and advocate for others. She also became a prison consultant, helping women navigate the daunting transition into the prison system. Her insights into the lack of medical care, forced labor through Unicor, and the inefficiencies within the Bureau of Prisons are eye-opening. Sean and Holli dive into practical solutions for aiding inmates' reentry into society.
They emphasize the importance of robust support systems and compassionate approaches to addiction. One powerful takeaway from Holli's experience is the need for connection rather than isolation for those battling addiction. Tune in to hear Holli's candid reflections and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those entangled in the federal justice system. This episode isn't just a story of survival; it's a call for reform and compassion.
