Weâre learning more about a woman who was touched by Former Governor Edwin Edwards s legacy.
During his final campaign, he was planning to address incarceration. Governor Edwards looked out for people like me.
For nearly two decades, Bernadine Jackson Malveaux would visit her husband who was serving a life sentence in Angola every two weeks. During her frequent visits, she built rapport with the staff.
One day, she received an unexpected phone call from Governor Edwards that would potentially ease the burden of traveling to see her husband.
âHe said that if he would ve won the election the last time when he lost, he would ve had some provision for us to go build some houses with maybe one bedroom and a kitchen bring our food and spend the weekend because he said it s too many people that are getting divorced when their husband go to prison,â said Malveaux.
