Amanda Knight

Amanda Knight is a writer incarcerated in Washington, serving a 71-year sentence. Until Amanda was incarcerated at 21 years old, she had never been in trouble before and had been oblivious to how fractured and systemically racist the system was designed to be. She is glad to finally see the broken system confronted now that more people have time to see it, face it and act on it.
