Make Life Matter

Twenty-one years of love and commitment is the sign of a great relationship by most standards. But twenty-one years of love and commitment, separated by America’s most violent maximum-security prison while raising six boys as a single mom and relentlessly advocating against a system designed to keep her husband in prison, can only be described as radical love. Sibil Fox and Robert Richardson are a New Orleans based couple who endured 21 years as an incarcerated family and whose story is told in the acclaimed, award-winning documentary TIME. Together they have six sons and continue their advocacy for incarcerated families.
