On March 21, 1988, at a house on 4200 Park Avenue, life completely changed for Judy and her family. She has devoted decades to telling her version of what happened.

She has published two handwritten books about her story through The Prison Foundation.org. (Click the titles below to access a downloadable pdf.)

Camouflage, 2018
Cop Profiles, 2021 

Both books are featured and can be downloaded at https://safestreetsarts.info/our-authors.

Judy was also featured in a book chapter, “Personal Transformation Behind Bars: An Intimate Look,” in Women Aging in Prison by Aday & Krabill, 2011. 

Much of Judy's story can be read firsthand in the case records of her trials and appeals, and through media accounts in the Southwest Times Record.

She has written six clemency applications.

For over 20 years, she has shared handwritten letters and cards with family and friends outside prison.

"My optimistic character developed when I realized my passion, my gift, was in writing down my thoughts as an exercise like dear diary feelings. Sharing with others what I write may be enlightening to them or confirmation as to my own personal thoughts. I have found I don’t live in the past, but the past does affect me today and the future to come. Working through my past in my mind gives me freedom. Even in prison, by letting go of hurt and forgiving others that don’t even know I was hurt by them. I still feel the spirit burning with zeal to let my thoughts, emotions, and facts be heard." ~Just Judy
