Alice Marie Johnson spent 21 years, seven months and six days behind bars for a nonviolent drug offense before she was granted clemency by former President Donald Trump in 2018. Now, Johnson is a well-known criminal justice reform advocate who, for the first time this week, revisited the prison in Alabama where she was held to spread her message of hope and second chances. 'My message is never give up hope.
Johnson said she’s never been one to give up. Even as her cell slammed shut for the first time in 1996, she turned to God and asked for guidance on her life’s purpose. 'In 1996 after the trial, when I was taken into custody, I literally fell on my knees in my cell as those iron doors slammed behind me,' she said. 'And I prayed and asked God to show me my purpose in this. ‘Show me meaning in this, and if you can use me, I'm available.
