Sharon Wiggins  Sharon Margaret Wiggins, affectionately nicknamed "Peachie," was the longest incarcerated female serving juvenile life without parole in the world. At the age of 17, Wiggins, along with her two co-defendants Foster Tarver, age 17, and Samuel Barlow, age 18, planned to rob the Dauphin Deposit Bank in Dauphin, Pennsylvania on December 2, 1968. Barlow was in the stolen get-away car; armed, Wiggins and Foster entered the bank. Wiggins was positioned at the front door hidden behind a tall plant while Tarver went deeper into the bank. George Morelock, a customer, entered the bank unaware that a robbery had commenced. Morelock wrestled with Wiggins to stop the robbery and her gun went off twice. Tarver ran over and shot Morelock again. Wiggins and Tarver fled the bank, got into the car, and were quickly apprehended when Barlow lost control of the car while police fired. In 1969 Wiggins, Tarver, and Barlow were sentenced to death. In 1971 all three had their sentences commuted to life without the possibility of parole. At that time in 1969, there were no women at SCI Muncy serving a death sentence, and so Wiggins was confined to the restricted housing unit, the Clinton Building, behind the main property. SCI Muncy had no fence or wall securing the facility until 1985; as a result, many women walked away. Muncy had the highest rate of all Pennsylvania state prisons for escapes prior to the wall and fence being erected. Wiggins walked away twice during her first ten years of her life sentence. In 1973 while attending Williamsport Community College, she walked away. While on escape status for about 30 days, she turned herself in to authorities. In 1975 she walked away from the institution and was on escape status for three years. In 1983, Wiggins filed a class action lawsuit with other female prisoners at Muncy, which led to the opening of a law clinic at the facility as well as other reforms. In addition to the lack of law clinic (a standard resource at men's prisons), the suit also alleged that Muncy's vocational, educational, medical, rehabilitative, and psychological services were inferior, and that the prison was unsafe, due to fire hazards and asbestos. A prison counselor, Nancy Sponeybarger, later described Wiggins's positive contributions to the incarcerated community as a peer counselor, tutor, and mediator. Sponeybarger continued to visit Wiggins even after leaving her job at Muncy.
