Last edited Tue Sep 15, 2020, 06:59 PM - Edit history (2)

Keiana is a 25-year-old sex trafficking survivor whose life is hanging in a balance. <snip> While still a child, she was prosecuted as an adult for her participation in the robbery of a grown man who was trying to purchase her for sex acts and the creation of child pornography. <snip> Her mental health is rapidly deteriorating and she has recently attempted suicide. She only has 8 months left on her sentence, but that is too long.

Please sign this petition to Governor Newsom to end her incarceration.

End the unjust & dangerous incarceration of Keiana, a child sex trafficking survivor

Just click on "this petition", and all the info is there:

Keiana is a 25-year-old sex trafficking survivor whose life is hanging in a balance.

Keiana grew up in an abusive home, was raped as a child, and then sex-trafficked as a runaway teenager in Sacramento, California. While still a child, she was prosecuted as an adult for her participation in the robbery of a grown man who was trying to purchase her for sex acts and the creation of child pornography.

She has been in prison for the last 8 years and is completely isolated because of the COVID-19 conditions at the California Institute for Women. Her mental health is rapidly deteriorating and she has recently attempted suicide. She only has 8 months left on her sentence, but that is too long.

Her continued incarceration is unnecessary, dangerous, and unjust. Tell the Governor to commute her sentence NOW!
