Joan Lipinski : Battles for Her Autistic Daughter's Freedom
Send us a text
Joan Lipinski shares her deeply personal journey fighting for her daughter with Asperger's syndrome who received a 63-month federal prison sentence after being manipulated into bringing contraband into a facility where she worked.
Through multiple prison transfers, denied medical care following back surgery, and judicial misunderstanding of autism, Joan has become a determined advocate battling against a system that fails to accommodate neurodiversity.
• Joan's daughter was manipulated by an inmate professing love to bring in a package with unknown contents
• Judge acknowledged her autism but wanted to "make an example" of her to other prison workers
• After sentencing, she endured a harrowing four-month journey through five different facilities
• Basic necessities like underwear, socks, and pain medication were withheld for weeks
• Her compassionate release was denied when the judge claimed "her autism was overstated"
• Joan traveled to Washington DC to meet with senators and representatives
• She successfully met with Senator Cruz's staff and personally with Senator Greg Stubbe
• Clemency paperwork has been filed as the next step in seeking her daughter's release
• Other inmates don't understand her daughter's autistic behaviors, putting her at risk
• Joan flies to Texas three times monthly to provide brief respite from the prison environment
