Miri

We are raising money in solidarity with Miri, a 47 year old Black woman who was sentenced to 3 years on an IPP sentence (Imprisonment for Public Protection). Although IPP sentences have long been abolished, this was not enacted retrospectively, so Miri remains in custody subject to gruelling Parole Board reviews that she may sit every two years. Due to this cruel process, as of June 2021, Miri has been held captive for a decade beyond the original sentence she was given.

 

Neurika “Taz” Baguley

UPDATE (3rd April 2022) Taz greatly appreciates all the support she has received and continues to receive. She has now been approved for ROTLs (Release on Temporary Licence) and has been on two outings accompanied by Officers successfully. She is very hopeful that this time round, she will get her Parole and have the support she needs to thrive in the community with her family and friends, although she remains dedicated to continuing to support the friends and family she has made whilst inside. 

 

Clara Butler

Clara was given a life sentence in prison at the age of 22, with a minimum of 20 years before being eligible for parole. She has asked us to crowdsorce a stable sorce of income for her to make life more bearable whilst incarcerated, she is hoping to reach £30/week.

 

Prisons are designed to cut people off from their communities and support, and feel isolated. Phone calls are a main form of contact she has access to, which are expensive from inside prison.
