“There is no doubt that jobs reduce crime. And providing men and women who are trying to turn their lives around with opportunities to obtain skills through career and technical education is a win-win.” - Andrew Hundley

It is great sadness that we learned of Leon’s passing last night due to complications from heart surgery. He had six months of freedom after 60 years of incarceration.

Today marks 5 years of freedom for Christi Cheramie. Sentenced to life in prison at 16, she makes the most of her second chance. She’s a role model, a homeowner, and a difference maker in her community. Christi is proof that Louisiana’s justice reforms are working. #lagov #lalege

After 20 years in prison, Vernon received his second chance. While incarcerated, he served as an academic tutor and a mentor to his peers. Now that he is home, he is committed to using those skills to give back to his community.

'People deserve real, second chance opportunities”. “I’m not exceptional to anyone else who has been incarcerated, I was just told “yes” along the way.” -Andrew Hundley Louisiana Parole Project. #CJSummit23 #JusticeReinvestmentInitiative #CJISummitRecapSeries

Wonderful visit with our friends at Georgetown University Prisons & Justice Initiative. Georgetown has emerged as a leader among universities nationwide for its commitment to humanizing, educating, and empowering people during and after incarceration. Marc Howard & his team are truly transforming lives.

Love it when Bryan Widenhouse, Andrew Hundley, and the Louisiana Parole Project stop by to see us. The Sentencing Project

Those whose sentences were commuted represent a fraction of state’s 4,000+ lifers. Most were in prison 3 or 4 decades or more & records indicate clear evidence of remorse & rehabilitation. They were thoroughly vetted by an open, public process & have proven worthy of a 2nd chance

On way out, Gov. John Bel Edwards ramps up relief for life prisoners theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…

After 40 years in prison, Gary received his second chance after his life sentence was commuted. For the last two decades, he operated farm equipment at Angola. “I have a few good years left in me. I’m ready to get to work while I can.”

Another 10/6 lifer is home. After 54 years in prison, Claude received his freedom. When he arrived at Angola in 1969, the road leading to the front gate was unpaved. Earlier today he left the prison going the opposite direction on a road he wondered if he’d ever travel again.

After 34 years in prison, Joseph received his second chance when his life sentence was commuted. We stand by Joseph as he works to rebuild his life and be a contributor to his community.
