In 1994 we were still grieving from the loss of our oldest son Andre and our heart shattered into a million pieces again when our middle son James was convicted for a crime he DID NOT commit. The pain we endure is a parent’s worst nightmare and a pain that remains and has not gotten better over time. We pray and cry daily not just for our own strength and survival but also for the strength and survival of our son James. We strongly believe and have faith that we will see James come home where he belongs safe and soon. We look forward to the day when we can hug our son. We are a family strong in our FAITH and who will fight James and WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP!!

26 years ago my heart was ripped apart and still hasn’t been quite the same since my brother was falsely accused and imprisoned for a crime he DID NOT commit and it has been very devastating. For many years I was angry with GOD, in pain 24/7 and walking through life with a broken heart and other times it was so unbearable it was depleting my spirit. However, I knew in order for James to receive his blessings and regain freedom I had to forgive those who falsely accused him and provided the false testimony that led to him being incarcerated the past 26 years!
In spite of his own situation I’ve witnessed a tremendous change both emotionally and spiritually in James. Over the years, my brother has inspired me to be the woman that I am today. He always has a way of lifting my spirits up whenever I was down and constantly telling me don’t worry/stress about anything including his situation, how to overcome any obstacle that came my way and always walk by FAITH and not by sight.
My Best Friend, My Confidant, My Rock, My mentor, My strength, My Everything!!
As long as I have breath I will continue to fight for Justice4James!!

If it wasn’t for my brother James, I probably wouldn’t be the man that I am today. My brother has been locked up since I was 15 years old. I am now 41 years old and my brother has been giving me good advice the last 26 years. He has taught me how to be strong and never give up on anything. The fight will NEVER end until he comes home.

Jermaine Fowler (brother)
I was seven years old when my Uncle James went to prison. At the time I was too young to understand what was going on. I remember him always picking me up from day care and hanging out with him. I’ve witness the impacted and great respect that the family and his friends have for him. Over the years he always stressed to me the importance of staying focused and always maintain a positive attitude. My uncle played a tremendous role in my life and help mold me into the man I am today.
Darren (Nephew)
I cannot even start to fathom the mindset of a person with a life sentence and being incarcerated for 26 years for a crime he did not commit but still remain so positive and upbeat towards life. When I ask him from time to time how do you remain so upbeat? He always tell me FAITH Auntie! You got to have faith! Not a day go by that I don’t think of him and pray that this injustice prevail for my nephew to walk out of prison a free man and come home to his family soon!

My name is Theresa Fowler, the cousin of James H. Fowler III. I just started writing this and it brought back so many memories from when the family was all together. We had some of the best times growing up with each other. James has been removed from his family for 20+ years and it has been very hurtful, painful and wrong. James is an innocent man
Theresa Fowler (Cousin)
To my Beloved Cousin James, you are such an inspiration. In the worst of time you see the bigger and brighter side of things. You are blessed and a blessing.
Courtney Allen (Cousin)
James Fowler is my cousin but our relationship is more like brother and sister than cousins. These past 26 years have been difficult with James being incarcerated. James has always been my go to person in my time of need. He’s my confidant and the person who I can trust the most in my life. Having James not be here for my sons and myself whom he loves like nephews has been a hardship. My oldest son was killed in 2007 and James attempted to console me the best he could due to his incarceration he wasn’t able to physically be there for me and my other son to support us through such a difficult time. I love James and pray that he is released soon because his physical presence is so necessary in my life.
Shavon Fowler (Cousin)
I am the cousin of James Fowler, words can't express the hurt, pain and disappointment I feel having had my cousin falsely accused and wrongfully imprisoned. The one thing that has got me through this ordeal is my family's love, support and faith in God and we know the truth will prevail and James will be released and home where he belongs.

I have the pleasure of being James’s Goddaughter. My Uncle James (as I call him), has acted as a role model, a pillar of strength and positive motivating force in my life for the entirety of my life. He has always instilled values, integrity and high standards in me. I’ve spoken to him over the years, he remains so optimistic, so full of faith and humility. He is standard by which I measure a MAN. His strength of character and ability to maintain a positive perspective is greater than words could express.
Courtney (Goddaughter)
My uncle inspires me every day I wake up and look in the mirror. I was born a few months after he was incarcerated and it makes me realize that each additional day of freedom I enjoy is another day that he is not free. I am now 26 years old and he has spent an entire lifetime locked up. Yet every time I have spoken to him or exchanged letters, his spirts remains strong it life mine along with his. I deal with my own challenges each day but I also value my freedom knowing that not everyone get that opportunity. I am inspired every day to be a better person and take advantage of that freedom because of my uncle.

Dear God, we know that You can open doors that no man can ever shut. It’s not always easy for us to see and sense the direction we need to take. And so today, we trust and ask You to lead us to the open doors of opportunity that you have prepared for us. Help us make sense of the options that lay before us and help us see and make the right choices today.
In Jesus Name AMEN!
