Praise for Once Upon A Felony
“Incarceration and the factors that lead individuals into prison have significant social implications. Through their eyes and in their voices, Lois captures the struggles and emotional hurdles associated with justice involved women.”
—David Johnson, Director of Adult Parole, Colorado Department of Corrections;
Warden, Denver Women’s Correctional Facility
