IMPORTANT: PRAYER REQUEST!
Letter from Randi:
So here’s the deal – Every day we have a head count at 4:45am and 4:45pm. We have to sit at the tables until 5:00 when the shift changes. For the past week I have been praying the entire time I sit there. And I thought it would be cool and powerful if more prayers were beings said at the same time.
So, if anyone wants to pray with me – know that I am praying every day...

Plans for Change
I think that the worst part of being locked up is the fact that I was so ready to get right with my life – but I kept making excuses and putting it off for just a little while longer.
At the time I got arrested – I already had plans to leave that lifestyle and get out of Phoenix. I missed my family and I knew I didn’t have any kind of future where I was at. So I made the decision to move...

No Looking Back – Randi
Prayers are being answered in my life!
Before I got arrested, I asked God to take certain people out of my life. I knew it was impossible for me to just walk away from my life – so I begged for God to fix it. And although becoming a criminal was not what I had in mind – coming to jail definitely removed me from a life of sin and all the unhealthy relationships I was involved in.
I have finally...

Letter to Carolyn from Randi
Wow, today has been a powerful day!
Things are happening behind these bars and outside of these bars for that matter.
All of you readers will be happy to know that Carolyn has gone home. She was released on Friday. Please keep her in the forefront of your prayers! I know she is going to be struggling out there and we sure don’t want to see her back here again! (No offense, Carolyn, but we don’t!)...

Thanks!
Good morning Friends!
I just wanted to say THANKS again for all of your love and support for Randi! Please keep her in your prayers this week. Also, please keep us – her family – in your prayers. The initial feelings of all of this were traumatic and heart-breaking. Then…we kind of came to grips with it all and it was a little easier for a few weeks. I know for me, it has gotten pretty tough...

Taking Responsibility for My Own Actions
It’s midnight at I cant sleep. For some stupid reason – I slept all day – only getting up to eat – and for an ice coffee at 10pm! So – needless to say – I am amped up!
Yesterday, I got my “discovery”. I think that is part of the reason I slept all day today. Although I cannot go into any details about the discovery – what it revealed really hurt! The life...

Randi Facts…just for Fun!
I feel like telling you a little bit about my sister, Randi, today. I have been worrying about her non-stop over the past few days because of Gustav. I thought it would make me feel better to tell you some of the wonderful things about her!
So – here goes:
1. JOBS: Randi’s first job was at Putt-Putt golf when she was like 14. They made her a manager also. What 14 year old is a manager at Putt-Putt?!...

Treasures in Heaven – Randi
It has been a month today since the night I got arrested.
Tonight is only the 2nd time that I have been sad about the fact that I have no control over what happens in the free world.
I talked to Shauna today and all my stuff from Phoenix arrived at her house today (including my puppy, Skyler) and we only got to talk for a few minutes because I ran out of minutes on my calling card. But from what she was telling...

Letter from Randi – "Chow Time"
As I carefully pulled off tendons, ligaments, spinal bones and fatty tissue from my turkey neck tonight at dinner, I tried to imagine it was simply brisket and I smothered it in ketchup in order to make it edible. Saturday meals consist of fruit loops for breakfast with 2 bisquits and apple jelly. Lunch today went straight to the trashcan – Turkey Liver, mashed potatoes soaked in turkey grease –...

Letter from Randi #2
About 5 years ago, I was invited to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with my HR Manager at my job. We spoke periodically about my “boyfriend’s” drug addiction. She told me how AA was not just for addicts, but also for their families as well. Her son had a bad drinking problem and she said going to the meetings helped her understand and cope with his problem.
I dont remember benefiting much...
In July 2008, my younger sister, Randi Spearman, was incarcerated in Baton Rouge, LA. This website brings you a story of hope. You will hear from Randi and other women & men in the prison system.
Randi is living a freedom unlike she ever did outside of that prison. I hope you take this walk with us and keep an open heart. These women are precious gifts from God and I hope that their life stories can impact you like they have me.
