On Christmas Eve 2022, Jennifer Heath Box got off a cruise ship in Florida, excited to return home to Texas and spend Christmas with her children before her son was deployed. Instead, police arrested her as she got off the ship, and she spent Christmas in jail, where guards pumped death metal music and freezing air into the cells. All because police were looking for a woman who didn’t look like Jennifer, was half her age, and didn’t even have the same name. To tell us more about the case, we interview IJ attorneys Jared McClain and Bobbi Taylor.
