JB: What you describe is way beyond somewhat excusable bureaucratic mumbo jumbo. It's inhumane to all concerned: the inmates and their families who love them yet are helpless to get to them, to be with them, to be able to say goodbye. A nightmare. Is there anything you'd like to add before we wrap this up?
DRC: As long as there is breath in me, I am going to stand up and be the voice of those who are behind prison walls. I am going to advocate for those who are forgotten or abandoned and advocate for much needed changes and look into creating a foundation to help those who have no family or anyone to help them take those first steps into a healthy happy life.
JB: That sounds really good. Thank you so much for speaking so freely with me, and through me, with our readers, Dianne. Especially with your own cancer battle, your commitment is moving. Our hearts are with you.
DRC: Thank you as well for allowing me to share our love story and the tragic ending we have gone through. I'm sure my voice will be heard all over this nation as I make this journey to help others.
JB: Amen to that!
