About Patty Prewitt
Patty Prewitt went to Pr*son in 1986 for a M**der she did not commit. She and her supporters fought for justice every day of her incarceration. Governor Parson freed her on December 20, 2024—she hit the ground running.
Patty's first memoir, Trying to Catch Lightning in a Jar, chronicling the first 20 years of her incarceration, was published just months after her release. In December 2025, she completed her bachelor’s at Washington University St. Louis, and this spring she published her second memoir, Catching Lightning, about the second half of her imprisonment and release.
She has also published a children’s book, A Little Person Like You Whose Mommy Goes to Pr*son. Patty is currently working on two poetry books and a Spanish translation of her children’s book.
