Expungement & Social Equity - With guest co-host, Ava Okyere. Stephanie Shepard spent 10 years behind bars for a first-time cannabis offense. Today she's on the board of directors for the Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit org dedicated to criminal justice reform. In our previous conversation we learned Stephanies father died while she was in prison and went to his grave believing her to be a drug dealer.
Today we pick up the conversation and take a closer look at the history of cannabis criminalization and the struggle for equal justice and social equity.
