The Stacy’s Voice Team
We at Stacy’s Voice are passionate about helping our incarcerated sisters and brothers get
the medical care they are in desperate need of. We want to make valuable and lasting
changes in the laws that dictate what is deemed “necessary” and “sufficient” healthcare
for people in prison.
OUR TEAM
​
BOARD MEMBERS
Tali Alban, Vice Chair
As a corporate attorney, with approximately 15 years of experience working on human rights issues, Tali dedicated significant time to pro bono work-from representing undocumented immigrants in asylum proceedings to working with NGOs focused on conflict resolution in war torn countries. During law school, Tali interned with the DC Public Defender's Office, where she spent quite a bit of time at one of the worst juvenile detention facilities in the country, interviewing accused defendants. This experience left a huge impression on Tali with respect to the pressing need to fix a system that has so many young people, and young black men in particular, in prison, and the conditions that they face once incarcerated.
“Human rights in all capacities is an issue that is important to me and to which I dedicate much of my pro bono time. When I heard Stacy's story, I was moved. I was already aware that inmates in the State of California encounter much difficulty in receiving medical treatments, but was nevertheless horrified to learn that nationwide, treatable diseases can, and frequently do, become lethal in our prison system. Serving on this Board is a meaningful way to make an impact in this area and I am honored to participate.”
Natalie Willis, Board Chair
Natalie Willis is advocating for Stacy’s Voice because, like Stacy, Natalie was subjected to a devastating lack of health care while serving a 100-month federal prison sentence. She observed the unjust and inequitable travesty of watching her friend suffer and eventually parish due to lack of medical care in the penitentiary system. Stacy’s case was the most devastating to witness by far because she was dear to Natalie and the impact of the negligence was terminal. However, the cases and instances in which people were denied medical attention were so overwhelming in circumstance and number that it defined the obvious standard rather than the exception.
​
“Natalie had no previous experience with the legal system in any manner prior to her incarceration and therefore was unaware of the excessive injustices that occur within the prison system. It is Natalie’s hope that awareness will help to alleviate the lack of proper medical treatment in the prison system, and may potentially help end mass incarceration. Stacy was a wonderful and amazing human being who did not deserve this end. Help us make her story count!”

​
“As most Americans, I believed the many myths about prison. I was told prisoners receive the best health care for free among many other lies we tell ourselves to feel good about the prison population. But first-hand experience makes me shudder to think of how the inmate population is treated (or not treated). With Stacy’s Voice, I hope to make a difference in the medical care made available to and the humane treatment of inmates and their families.”
Rex Wallace, Board Member

“A dear friend, sent to me by the LORD JESUS CHRIST, introduced me to the development of a blessed cause called, STACY’S VOICE. Of all the causes I have been involved in, this is an anointed calling from GOD for me to serve on the Board.”

“I would love to be of assistance to Stacy’s Voice in order to provide help to my fellow inmates and to do the will of our Heavenly Father.”
Brandy Hatley, Board Member
Brandy was Stacy Fox's younger sister. Brandy witnessed Stacys struggles to get the proper care she had been requesting and desperately needed. Stacy got ignored and pushed aside for almost 2 years while incarcerated. Finally Stacy's request was accepted to seek medical attention. Stacy called the family to let us know she had colon cancer that had already reached stage 4. I know if the prison had listened to her and taken her seriously Stacy would still be here today. Everyone deserves medical treatment, the FBOP medical system is flawed to say the least people are dying every day, and 90% of these illness related deaths could be avoided with modern medicine. Brandy and is currently enrolled at yvcc to become a social worker she is working her way through school as a waitress Brandy is a mother of two beautiful children, and her favorite place to be is that home with her kids.
