Sabrina Johnson is one of our inmate bloggers and the one who really start this whole thing in the first place. For the backstory about her being in prison and what she did to get this project started check the How It All Began page. In spite of finding herself in prison and feeling sorry for herself, she was determined it was not going to get her down and has been working very hard at improving the lives and opportunities of other women where she is incarcerated.
