Theresa Dunlap, who is serving a life without parole sentence for first-degree murder, has stage 4 cancer and wants to be released after 46 years in prison. Seated in the chair, she is pictured in a 2019 photo with her daughter-in-law, Takeyla Dunlap, 46, of West Bloomfield, who was visiting her in prison.

For eight days this summer, Theresa Dunlap lay shackled to a hospital bed, battling stage 4 lung cancer and COVID-19 while mold grew in her chemo port. 

The 66-year-old prisoner pleaded through tears for the chains to be removed, but was met with a stony silence that continues to torment her.
