KyFreeKarenBrown

The #KyFreeKarenBrown is a nationwide growing mvt to advocate for the commutation of Karen Brown who is currently the longest continuously incarcerated woman in the state of Ky. Karen was sentenced in 1986 to life with the possibility of parole after 25 years. The Kentucky Parole Board changed her sentence in 2021 to a "serve-out", which in Kentucky means 'death by incarceration'. Karen Brown, now in her 60's is a rehabilitated woman. She immediately immersed herself into programming, completing 100+ programs, a Master's in Ed., leader & original member of the Praise Band for over a 1/4 century, active in all areas of the prison ministry, volunteers in the prison hospice, and so much more. Karen Brown is approaching 40 years behind bars w/only 1 institutional ticket to her name. She did not have a prior record & has never committed a violent act. This page will hopefully provide you with glimpses of who Karen Brown is. For more info & how you can help check out the website.
