At a very young age, Jan Collins, along with her sister, two older brothers, and her mother, were forced into abject poverty after the only "breadwinner " of the family, her father, as a result of problems related to alcohol, found himself in the  Thomaston, Maine State Prison Facility. 

In a series of peculiar coincidences later in life, and once again finding her own son Gregory following in his father's footsteps, it was at that point Jan knew something had to be done.

Welcome to the county "Fiefdom,"  ...truly an alien world unto itself, with its own set of rules, mores, and laws ... and oh yes, this "kingdom" even has its own head of state, ...the town sheriff.   Any preconceived notions of life behind the bars will soon be swept away by Jan Collins, of the Maine Prisoners Advocacy Coalition
