Barnett was only a law student when she came across the case that would change her life foreverthat of Sharanda Jones, single mother, business owner, and, like Brittany, Black daughter of the rural South. A victim of Americas devastating war on drugs, Sharanda had been torn away from her young daughter and was serving a life sentence without parolefor a first-time drug offense. In Sharanda, Brittany saw haunting echoes of her own life, asthe daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother.As she studied this case, a system came into focusin whichwidespread racial injustice forms the core of Americas addiction to incarceration. Moved by Sharandas plight, Brittany set to work to gain her freedom.This had never been the plan. Bright and ambitious, Brittany was a successful accountant on her way to a high-powered future in corporate law.
