This is What Democracy Sounds Like

The Case of Bobby Bostic


Listen Later

In 1997 Bobby Bostic was only 17 years old when he was sentenced to 241 years in prison. Bobby's inhumane sentence remains in place despite his reform, a Supreme Court ruling that would seem to apply, the judge who sentenced him admitting her mistake, and bi-partisan support in Jefferson City.

Israel Collier tells Bobby's story and the details of the injustices that keep him from freedom. She also lets us know how we can advocate for Bobby.
