Summary

Today’s guest on Finding Freedom is Joy Watson. Joy shares her remarkable story. It will have you crying along with her and cheering her on as she perseveres through many traumatic experiences along the way. Through it all, Joy kept her spirit and came out of prison on the other side with a heart that is eager to help others and to chase her dreams. Unfortunately, Joy’s story starts similar to so many of the formerly incarcerated that I talk to. She got caught up in a situation with her husband selling pot and the feds nailed her with conspiracy charges. Joy decided to fight because she knew she was innocent and as almost always happens, the feds won. Joy was convicted of conspiracy to possess marijuana and money laundering. She was sentenced to 18 years in prison. She served 12 of those year and was finally released on December 23rd 2019.
