Pamela Colloff

An incredible story, so well told.

I'm so glad to hear you made that connection. I didn't spell that out explicitly in the story, but it was very much on my mind while writing it.

Thank you so much.

Thanks so much Deborah!

I had no idea!

A Father Murdered His Family. Did He Deserve to Be Set Free? — Rolling Stone Kimberly was the only survivor that fateful night. But she believes her father deserved forgiveness

When my mother died, I wrote a letter to the name plaintiff on her case—who was serving a life sentence for an unthinkable crime—to talk about grief.

When he passed, his daughter reached out said she’d like me to tell her story too.

A Secret Survey From Inside a Women’s Prison Tells Stories of Domestic Abuse Untold in Court From inside a women’s prison in Oklahoma, a domestic violence survivor began collecting other prisoners’ stories of abuse. Their accounts helped shape a new Oklahoma law intended to reduce their sente...

For @propublica.org’s weekly newsletter, @pamelacolloff.bsky.social shares stories that one incarcerated woman collected inside prison. The accounts speak to what they see as a link between domestic abuse and their convictions.

Powerful.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much, Michael!

They Were Convicted of Killing Their Abusers. A New Law Offered a Second Chance at Freedom. An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of women who killed their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

It’s awful to force these victims to recount their abuse decades later (and get cross-examined by a DA) for a wisp of hope for release when they should never have been in prison

My latest, with @propublica.org + @nytimes.com:

An Oklahoma law was supposed to help reduce the sentences of domestic violence survivors who fought back -- women who are serving long sentences for killing their abusers. Why are nearly all of them still in prison?

Like everything @pamelacolloff.bsky.social writes, this is well worth your time: www.propublica.org/article/okla...

Thank you so much, Jonah!

I can't wait to read her book. I know it will be tremendous!

ProPublica's investigative reporting is amazing! We need independent, reader supported journalism like never before. Please support ProPublica if you can, as I do.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you so much, Vivienne -- this is incredibly kind!

Thank you so much for reading it.

Thanks so much, Dana.

Obviously reading any Pam Colloff piece is a must but also be on the lookout for Justine van der Leun’s outstanding new book, UNREASONABLE WOMEN, which will be published in June. Criminalized survival is a scourge.

Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.
