Texas Urged to Review Marijuana Sentences

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

The Last Prisoner Project urges Texas to review nonviolent marijuana sentences, citing outdated convictions that hinder job opportunities, federal aid, and education. They advocate for a bill similar to Virginias, which allows judges to reconsider past cases. However, law enforcement and tough-on-crime voices express concerns about potential systemic trust issues. As cannabis laws evolve nationwide, advocates push for justice to catch up and free lives from past convictions.
