Title A name given to the resource Interview with Linda Louden Description An account of the resource Linda Louden is a prison reform activist, whose son [at the time of this interview] has been incarcerated for seven years. She has become a voice for incarcerated rights, speaking out on issues concerning the sometimes-fatal lack of air conditioning in prisons, abuse or negligence by the guards, and other inhumane treatment happening inside. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Louden called out TDCJ for their lack of transparency surrounding COVID numbers, deaths, and protocol. Because of her actions and vocal calls for justice, Louden has been removed from her son’s visitor list. Her advocacy has also led to explicit repercussions for her incarcerated son, including the delay of his parole. Louden speaks to some of the ways she has found support during these difficult years, through her faith and church, while emphasizing the importance of continuing to fight for those whose voices have been taken away from them.

Title A name given to the resource Interview with Rhiannon Description An account of the resource Rhiannon is a dedicated wife and mother who has been advocating for change and awareness of the impact that COVID19 has had within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and the Telford Unit. Rhiannon describes how TDCJ’s response to COVID has changed policies and procedures which have resulted in the neglect and maltreatment of people currently incarcerated. She shares her husband’s experience with such treatment, and describes the effects of prolonged lockdowns, scarcity of food and water, exposure to illness, and restrictions to communication with loved ones on the outside. Rhiannon emphasizes the importance of speaking out on behalf of her husband and other currently incarcerated people, most of whom face the possibility of retaliation for submitting grievances about the living conditions inside the unit. Rhiannon also shares her perspective as a mother and wife, and describes the worries and challenges she overcomes to be able to support her husband and children. Rhiannon provides her experience with avenues of communication and visitation being restricted between her family and her husband, and the impact it's had on her children and grandchildren, who no longer have many opportunities to speak to her husband. Rhiannon also discusses the importance of fostering relationships and community with other families who also have a loved one who is incarcerated as a means of support and healing, and as a way to build solidarity while advocating for change. <div class="video-responsive"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/461518003" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rhiannon Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Texas After Violence Project Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource June 7, 2020 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource public -- CC BY-NC-ND 4.0<br /><br /><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What does this mean?</a> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource .mp4 Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource interview Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context tav00093 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant North America--United States--Texas Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Celeste Henery, Veronica Morales, Emily Henry Relation A related resource <a href="https://shelteringjustice.texasafterviolence.org/admin/items/show/1">Item #1: Johnny Sack Menu</a> Advocacy Correctional Medicine Covid-19 family Living Conditions in Prisons medical care relationships Support Systems https://shelteringjustice.texasafterviolence.org/files/original/6f113dd277941a2aa59009bb214aeefa.png ed830ab8f24cb822b0b42047fc26bd1c https://shelteringjustice.texasafterviolence.org/files/original/2e1bfef3b9cce3e20716f44de9067e30.pdf d622f2d289462dfb4f494c761650e91d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Here, Crews talks to TAVP about what has happened in the 8 years since her book was published.&nbsp; She also speaks upon the fear of police within the deaf community due to deaf/hearing misunderstandings that often lead to brutality at the hands of the police.She reflects on her father's experience as a deaf man in a prison system that is unable or unwilling to accommodate him– despite a ravaging pandemic and continuing health problems. She talks specifically about his struggles with health while inside, including his reluctance to seek any medical treatment because of a distrust for the prison medical system.
