Send us a text
Rita Williams turned personal tragedy into powerful advocacy when her spouse was unexpectedly sentenced to 10-20 years in prison, revealing deep flaws in the criminal justice system and sparking her mission to expose judicial misconduct and support others facing similar challenges.
• Former federal employee who pursued a master's in criminal justice before her spouse faced white-collar charges
• Discovered her spouse had high-functioning autism only after his incarceration, highlighting how the system fails neurodivergent individuals
• Used blogging, websites, and social media to expose a prosecutor with 18 years of misconduct, eventually forcing him to relocate
• Advocates for criminal justice reform, particularly ending solitary confinement and creating better supports for people with autism
• Works with Michigan Citizens for Prison Reform and helps coordinate legislative days to connect lawmakers with those affected by the system
• Creates resources to guide people through the legal system and protect them from predatory practices
• Emphasizes the importance of being informed about the criminal justice system before you need it
