Story from Jam Press (Pregnant In Prison) Pictured: Amanda Tarver and Legend with Legend Junior. ???I was a pregnant mum in prison and felt like life was over ??? my husband and I have helped 400 families heal from similar experiences??? A woman who found out she was pregnant two weeks into her prison sentence has lifted the lid on what life is like behind bars ??? and why she and her partner are now campaigning to help other families in the system. Amanda Tarver was 22 when she made the ???youthful mistake??? of helping her now-husband, Legend, sell drugs. She was convicted for 24 months due to her involvement in transferring money for her partner and receiving packages to her apartment. Meanwhile, Legend was given 47 months for conspiracy to import a controlled substance.

The time Amanda served was doubly stressful as she was also separated from her then six-year-old son, Dorian, who would remain in the custody of Legend???s mother. The US was reported to have the highest incarceration rate in the world at the end of 2023, with 1.8m people behind bars, according to Statista. This is something 300 Letters hopes to change. The 34-year-old mum is sharing her story and why the prison system needs an overhaul. ???I really thought my life was over,??? said the mum-of-two, who is from Miami. ???When they told me the verdict, I was in shock. ???I hadn???t gotten into trouble before and I was a mother, and expected to receive a warning or probation. ???But none of those factors seemed to matter. ???I didn???t know how to explain to Dorian that I would be gone for so long. ???I was in a really bad space.??? Amanda, who was incarcerated from 2015-2016, served a total of 24 months. She met Legend at a college bar a few years prior, in 2012. While she was aware that he was selling illegal drugs to fund his education and help
