Walking out of prison was a blessing, but more so, it was a miracle that would not have happened without the mercy of God and the willingness of people that God had assigned for my life to be used of Him.
Louisiana law said that Sherral would not walk out of prison, that she would be carried out in a body bag—a grim thought. She left behind five children ranging in age from four months old to thirteen years old. Sherral lived through nearly twenty-eight years of incarceration. She survived the games, the cruelty, the dehumanization, and the mind-controlling tactics of officers and offenders alike.
She walked from a world where she was free to think, act, and decide into a world where she was discouraged from thinking, acting, and deciding. She was in a world where her thoughts, her actions, and her decisions could cost her life.ver menos
