Clayton and Greg sit down with Natalie Papillion from the Last Prisoner Project and talk about how thousands of people are still unjustly incarcerated for the simple crime of marijuana possession—a startling fact given that many states have since legalized the plant. Even more shocking is the fact that many of the people who wrote or enforced America’s drug laws are now making millions of dollars in the cannabis industry while thousands rot in jail serving lengthy prison terms for cannabis possession. Among them is Edwin Rubis, who is serving a 35-year prison term in a federal prison in Talladega, GA for conspiracy to distribute 2200 pounds of marijuana even though no drugs or money were ever found by police. Edwin’s release date is not until 2032.
