My clients, my family. Sharanda Jones + Corey Jacobs. Both sentenced to life in prison. Both served decades set to be locked away forever. It takes a special type of grace + dignity to carry a life sentence. Clemency from @BarackObama literally saved their lives. My heroes. 🖤🖤

This is what freedom looks like! Won immediate release for Terrence yesterday! He was arrested at 25 and sentenced to life - he turns 50 in August and is FREE to celebrate LIFE AFTER LIFE. Pure joy being able to give these life sentences back! 🖤@BuriedAliveProj @DecarcerateNow

Sharanda Jones was sentenced to life in prison without parole for a first-time, non-violent drug offense in 1999. In 2015, President Barack Obama granted her clemency. Listen to Sharanda tell @SariHorwitz her story and what prison was like. #postlive

It started with Ms. Alice, but looking at her and seeing the faces and learning the stories of the men and women I’ve met inside prisons I knew I couldn’t stop at just one. It’s time for REAL systemic change

What I was required to do that day was cruel and did not make us safer. @MsBKB thank you for working to make this right. nitter.gq/msbkb/status/101166016…
My client, Chris Young, is serving life w/o parole for low-level role in a drug case. The unspeakable cruelty of Chris being set to NEVER breathe air as a free man again epitomizes a failed system thriving off human misery. Unacceptable. @BuriedAliveProj buriedaliveproject.org/stori…

My friend, my sister Alice Johnson is free!!!!!!! We spent nearly 15 years incarcerated together in Carwell...being each other’s backbone as we served living death sentences. My freedom was bitter sweet without her. Crying tears of joy. God is so good!! nitter.gq/sarihorwitz/status/100…

Trump commutes life sentence for Alice Marie Johnson, a woman whose case was championed by Kim Kardashian. She was represented by attorney @MsBKB who represented several other inmates in for life including @FreeSharanda who were granted clemency by Obama. wapo.st/2kR0mKf?tid=ss_tw&ut…
