Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Prison Reform | Elizabeth Mikotowicz

This week, I spoke with Elizabeth Mikotowicz, whose early twenties were marked by unimaginable challenges. After surviving a brutal assault by her then-boyfriend that left her hospitalized, Elizabeth was prescribed opioids for pain relief—leading to a spiral into addiction. Her journey took a dramatic turn when she was arrested and sentenced to 37 months in federal prison. While incarceration helped her get clean, it also exposed her to the dark realities of the prison system.Today, Elizabeth is a fierce advocate for prison reform, determined to expose the abuse, misconduct, and injustices she witnessed firsthand in facilities like Cumberland County Jail, Danbury Federal Correctional Institute, Alderson FPC, and Long Creek Youth Development Center. Her mission is to shed light on these issues and inspire change.How to contact:Wearable Art by: EPM Clothing -Le Galeriste - Wearable Art - Made in Montreal✨ 👑 Elizabeth 👑✨ (@epm_art_1111) | TikToLet’s Chat!
