Louisiana's longest serving woman IS FREE!
Gloria "Mama Glo" Williams was Louisiana's longest-serving incarcerated woman. She is also a longtime member of the Drama Club at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in St. Gabriel, a 24-year-old program. We call her Mama because, in addition to her own five children, she has taken hundreds of other women under her wing during her 51 years at LCIW.
The fight for Mama Glo's freedom started in 2019. PDMNOLA, along with the National Counsel for Incarcerated Women and Girls, Promise of Justice Initiative, The Graduates, and more began the #FreeMamaGlo campaign to get Governor John Bel Edwards to grant her clemency. In July 2021, he did just that!
In January of 2022, Mama Glo was granted parole by the Louisiana Board of Pardon and Parole and walked out of the prison gates for the first and last time.
