When I was in prison, my mom would have traded places with me in an instant.
Now that I'm a mom, I've been thinking a lot about how to honor that love and responsibility, and Cartwheel, my first one-woman comedy show, is my answer.

- You should never be in a room with police for more than an hour. If they read you your Miranda rights, you’re a suspect. Shut it down. Demand a lawyer. This is just some of the advice I got from a retired FBI Special Agent, and two renowned false confessions experts. /thread
- I hear you, but...prison is prison.Fame is prison
- Does my name belong to me? My face? What about my life? My story? Why does my name refer to events I had no hand in? I return to these questions because others continue to profit off my name, face, & story without my consent. Most recently, the film #STILLWATER. / a thread
- *Stopped by cops while boarding flight to Dublin* "Why are you traveling?" "I'm being interviewed." "Looking for work?" "No, on TV. I wrote a book. It's called Free." "What's it about?" "Reintegrating into society after prison." "And what did you do to end up prison?" /🧵
- Says the guy who's begged me to be on his show multiple times, and I've turned him down every time.Out of respect for Meredith Kercher's poor family, Amanda Knox should stop her self-pitying 'all about me' victim tour - and shut up.
- Replying to @amandaknox*40 people have walked past me by now as I'm stuck on the jet bridge.* "Oh yeah, what's your podcast called?" "Labyrinths." "What's it about?" "A lot of things." "Like what?" ... "Coercive police interview methods." ... "Safe trip."
- People keep telling me I resemble Amy Coney Barrett. I do! In that neither of us are qualified for the supreme court. @nbcsnl you know where to find me.
- This battle over Abrego Garcia is simple. It doesn't matter that he was here illegally. It doesn't matter if he's a gang member or if he's a wife beater (both of which are disputed). It doesn't matter if you think he deserves to be deported or to be in prison. / thread
- Fascinating. Are there any psychologists who can explain what's happening here? It's like one mind distributed over two brains.holy shit there is nothing that can prepare you for when they cut to the interview
00:00 - Girl, what are you talking about? Studying abroad is awesome!
- After I was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison, when the earth dropped out from beneath me, and global shame rained down on top of me, I had my first ever epiphany. /thread
- Replying to @amandaknox"Actually, I didn't do it." "And how long were you in prison?" "Four years until I was found innocent." "That long? You probably don't like police that much." "They make uncomfortable." "That pay well, writing books? That how you make a living?" "I also have a podcast."
- When I was in prison, one of the saddest days each year was Xmas, the day I most wanted to see my family & couldn't. Today I'm thinking about everyone incarcerated. No matter who you are or what you did (or didn't) do, you deserve family.
