Serene Singh visits Shawna Forde

Serene Singh, anti death penalty DPil Criminology student at Oxford University, GB, came for an 8 hour visit with Shawna Forde.  While there, she interviewed Shawna on what its like to be a woman on death row.  Serene is doing her thesis on women on America's death row.  Not the crimes, or lack there of, but on the mental, emotional, and
physical toll of their every day life.  Serene also contacted me & i was able to do an interview over the Oxford interviewing software with her detailing my observations of Shawna and the several other women i maintain contact with on death row.  We discussed how vaulable and important her research work is due to the fact there are none on female death row inmates, only on the male ones.  She told me the University had discourged her, but she was determined to  bring light to women on death rows plight.  We are certainly glad she did & wish the former beauty queen great success!!
