Welcome to The Locked Door, an audio-series that delves into the realities of the U.S. prison system and the lives of those affected by it.
In this debut episode of The Locked Door, Sigrid shares her personal journey into prison reform and anti-death penalty activism, starting fr
How’s life treating you?
Thank you for asking.
This photograph shows Jason Vukovich, the ‘Alaskan Avenger’, smiling at his brother after being sentenced to 28 years in prison. Growing up, Jason and his brother, Joel, had been subjected to abuse at the hands of their stepfather, Larry Lee Fulton.
In June 2016, Vukovich decided to target individuals listed on the Alaskan sex offender registry. Armed with a hammer and a notebook containing the names and addresses of his targets, he located and attacked three men: Charles Albee, Andres Barbosa, and Wesley Demarest.
These men had been convicted of sex crimes, and Vukovich believed that his actions were a form of justice for their victims. All three of the men survived. Jason later said that when he attacked the men, he was acting on behalf of those who could not defend themselves, including his younger self.
Jason Vukovich was transferred to a correctional farm a couple of months ago and his supporters are trying to get approval for electronic monitoring.
I’m actually really fun once you get to know me (takes 3-4 years).
My friend Richard on Texas Death Row wrote a second book, “Advice from a Dead Man”. He describes his life in prison in hopes it will deter some youth to commit crimes.
I think Ethan Crumbley should be put in a mental institution for awhile. I think sending him to prison for the rest of his life is a cop-out. The prosecutor in this case is just like so many, only interested in money and publicity. Fuck her. She doesn’t really care about the victims in the case.
A lot of prosecutors don't. It's all about winning and they don't care if they make collateral damages (by going against the victims' will at times). We see that a lot in death penalty cases. No all are like that luckily but many are 😠.
Do you think society saying there is no cure for paedophilia is a cop-out?
For sure. It's because paedophilia is seen/considered as probably the worst thing ever! It's impossible to reconcile that with the idea that people can possibly be treated and lead a "regular" life. However, I don't have the solution nor do I know how successful the cure is or would be. But looking with the narrow perspective that nothing can be changed or no one can get better is very common.
What is your opinion on the Ethan Crumbley case. The prosecution is seeking a life w/o sentence despite his age.
Well I never agree to try kids as adults. But I also understand that in this moment, from a public perspective, it is hard to imagine letting him go free in the future. I still think there should be a chance of parole, because it is impossible to say how he will turn out to be, especially for being so young.
Fortunately for those of us incarcerated, pen-pal services are just what the doctor ordered.
Wire of Hope is the cure.
are the other people involved in your husbands case on death row?
3 in 4 people were sentenced to death. All 3 got resentencings in the last year and only one remains on death row.
What’s next in your husbands case?
The goal now is to get him a number of years instead of a life sentence.
Did you live in Inner London or Outer London
I never lived in London.
Did you have contact visits with your husband when he was on dr?
Yes, they were contact visits.
What is the best way to get help if you have a terrible rage you worry you won’t always be able to control?
I would say the first step would be to find someone to confide in, just talking about it might help you release some of it. But the best of course would be to talk to a therapist, someone who will be able to help you navigate those feelings.
Yeah, that Nikolas Cruz judge going down still in her robe and hugging the prosecutors and victims families after the sentencing was totally inappropriate. She showed no impartiality in that case at all. Even wrongly accusing one of the defense attorneys of threatening her kids when it was one of the victim families threatening the kids of the defense attorney. The prosecutors sitting there egging them on. Prosecutors aren’t supposed to be acting as victim advocates anyway, they are supposed to prosecute cases for the state. There’s a separate office for victim advocacy. I know victim impact statements are an important part of the healing process, but they need to be set to rules and decorum as well. Sorry for the rant, but the US justice system needs a lot of reform.
You are welcome to rant, and I agree with all you said, that sentencing trial was a mess and the bias was way to obvious. The prosecutors like to use the victim families when they want the same thing they do, but they ignore them if they disagree.
You should have gone on Nancy Grace just to call her a bitch to her face.
This is tempting but at the end of the day, it's her show - and unfortunately, my life. So whatever I say she would have found a way to make me look insane and then I am the one who has to live with the consequences. It wasn't worth it.
