I'm in need of guidance I've been out and on parole for 7 years in Texas. My wife is one of my co-defendents and I was paroled to her house. I have transferred to Houston TX and didn't have a problem with it there. Now I have moved to Midland Texas and now it's a problem. We are legally married for 28 years. Now they want me to leave my wife. So that's where I'm at. Need lawyer or something
Hello,
I believe your doing great things. I want to be part of this movement.
I'm a ex-CO, did a little time, and now will be marrying an inmate in michigan. This is the start of a new journey for me.
Hi Lance. I believe I’ve seen you on our Facebook Live streams. WOW, former CO, to going tine, and falling for an innate. I’m sure you are very knowledgeable when it comes to prison. Congrats on your upcoming wedding! That is so exciting. It’s not an easy journey, but I’m sure you already know. Thank you for being a part of Defund DOC. We are happy to have you here. Reach out to me if you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns.

I asked Daniel for his input on this. The following is his response:
“ From my understanding of constitutional law, it would be unconscionable and unlawful for DOC to violate your marital rights, your rights to associate, and it would be a breach of your eighth amendment, right against cruel and unusual punishment. Unless it is in your judgment and sentence to invalidate the marriage, to have a no contact order, or an order to divorce it is NOT valid. You should file a grievance with DOC, exhaust all your administrative remedies, and then file a pro se 1983 civil lawsuit in the closest US District Court. That is my opinion. Keep us updated on how you proceed and what happens next in your journey. Don’t let this corrupt system alienate your wife’s affections, and keep you away from your soulmate. In solidarity, Daniel”
