Almost a year ago, Louisiana's pardon board recommended that Gloria "Mama Glo" Williams, who is 74 and has been in prison almost 50 years, be granted clemency and released from prison. But the governor hasn't acted.

Ms. Williams was in her 20s, a survivor of domestic abuse & mother of young children, when she was sentenced to die in prison for participating in a robbery of a grocery store with a toy gun. https://theappeal.org/louisiana-woman-sentenced-to-life-for-attempting-to-rob-grocery-store-with-toy-gun-seeks-mercy/#.XUu-DV76UtW.twitter
In the last almost 50 years, Ms. Williams has become a beloved mentor & role model to so many young women in the Louisiana prison system.
She still has time to be with her family: 4 living siblings, 5 children & grandchildren.
