10 years ago today, my sister picked me up from Angola. Leaving that day, with the prison behind me, I assumed I’d never return. Had not contemplated @paroleproject at that point. I’ve been back 100 times since then. I’ve lived a fortunate life, full of opportunities.

Smiley spent 60 years at Angola before getting his freedom three years ago. He had no family left so @paroleproject brought him home and supported his reentry. Tragically, he was struck by a car while crossing a street in early January and passed away on January 31st. RIP friend.

God Behind Bars entered Angola, the largest maximum-security prison in the United States, to host a father-daughter dance for incarcerated fathers and their daughters. The success of the event has sparked plans for a similar experience for fathers and their sons.

We commend the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections and @GodBehindBars for providing such an amazing day to these fathers and daughters. Moments like these allow families to strengthen bonds, create lasting memories, and remind children that they are loved. #lagov

Over the last five years @paroleproject has advocated for the release of dozens of 10/6 lifers who remained incarcerated after 50 years in prison. At the age of 80, and after 56 years at Angola, John became the latest to come home.

Life sentences in Louisiana used to come with the opportunity for release after 10 years and 6 months. In the 1970s, the rules changed, leaving an unknown number of people who expected to do 10.5 years stranded in prison facing a true life sentence huffpost.com/entry/life-sent…
