Title

Interview with Kimberly Judd

Description

Kimberly Judd’s husband of 18 years is currently incarcerated in the Texas Prison system. In this interview, Kimberly describes the inhumane conditions incarcerated people are subjected to under the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Specifically, Kimberly speaks about her husband’s experience with starvation and unsafe living conditions in 2020, during the Covid-19 lockdown, in the Garza East and West Units and the Ferguson Unit. Kimberly recounts the abuse in every unit her husband has stayed in and discusses the gross abuses of power by guards, wardens, and the Texas government. She discusses the community she has found within the TDCJ unit support groups and how information sharing has increased her awareness of the injustice on the inside. This interview was conducted on July 6, 2020 on Zoom by interviewer Celeste Henery and narrator Kimberly Judd.
