Summary: A Springfield woman who spent 36 years in prison and was granted clemency in 2017 is now working with the National Council for Incarcerated Women and Girls whose mission is to end incarceration for women and girls. She is focused on the National State Clemency Campaign - Reimagining Communities Through Clemency. They have collected the names of women who are incarcerated who they believe deserve clemency and are now asking people to send Governor Parson asking him to give these women clemency. The campaign goes from May 1 through July 31st. Henderson is also advocating for HB 352, which would allow individuals over 65 who are sentenced to life in prison for a minimum of 50 years to receive a parole hearing after 30 years.
