Episode 109 - Guest Elizabeth Mikotowicz - Survivor of Domestic Abuse and the Prison System

<p> In this episode of Crime Over Cocktails, I talk with my guest Elizabeth Mikotowicz. In her early twenties she was beaten so bad by her then boyfriend it landed her in the hospital due to a severe head injury. Doctors insisted that she take opioids for the pain which then led to addiction. Trying to save herself as well as her kids she was forced to live on the street while hiding from her abuser. The only people she could find to help her survive were drug dealers. She sold drugs for them, and they gave her a place to stay. After getting busted for selling drugs at a hotel she was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison which helped her get clean but opened her eyes to so much more.<br/><br/> Elizabeth is now an advocate and, on a mission, to out the prison system for all the abuse, rape, and misconduct that she saw while there. She is calling out Cumberland County Jail, Danbury Federal Correctional Institute, Alderson FPC, and Long Creek Youth Development Center. <br/><br/><a href='https://www.legaleriste.com/en/elizabeth.mikotowicz'>Wearable Art by: EPM Clothing -Le Galeriste - Wearable Art - Made in Montreal</a><br/><br/><a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@epm_art_1111'>✨ 👑 Elizabeth 👑✨ (@epm_art_1111) | TikTok</a></p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile">Support the show</a><p>https://www.crimeovercocktails.com/<br/>http://www.instagram.com/crimeovercocktails<br/>https://ratethispodcast.com/crimeovercocktails<br/>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu1f3cHWYhG4vWEwRcmkTmg<br/>https://www.the-crime-connection.org/<br/>https://www.deluxeeditionnetwork.com/<br/><br/><br/><br/></p>
