Back to EpisodesTexas Urged to Review Marijuana Sentences
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The Last Prisoner Project urges Texas to review nonviolent marijuana sentences, citing outdated convictions that hinder job opportunities, federal aid, and education.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.
