Three strikes! | Earlonne Woods | TEDxSanQuentin 2022

Listen as Ear Hustle's co-host Earlonne Woods tells about his troubled past and why he is determined to repeal California's onerous Three Strikes Law. Earlonne Woods was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. In 1997, he was sentenced to 31-years-to-life in prison. While incarcerated, he received his GED, attended Coastline Community College and completed many vocational trade programs. In November 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown commuted Earlonne’s sentence after 21 years of incarceration. Upon his release, Earlonne was hired by PRX as a full-time producer for Ear Hustle, and he continues to work with Nigel, contributing stories about re-entry.
