A Louisiana man sentenced to life in prison for less than $30 of
marijuana has now been released from prison after nearly a decade of
serving his time.
Derek Harris‘ life sentence was recently reduced to
time served, amounting to nine years. He was released from the Louisiana
State Penitentiary, according to a Tuesday press release from the
Promise of Justice Initiative, which is a New Orleans-based nonprofit
organization.
Harris’ freedom comes at a time when prisons across the country face elevated risks from the coronavirus.
The Louisiana State Penitentiary has notoriously received the nickname
of “Angola,” considering the land on which it’s located used to be the
Angola slave plantation. The plantation was given the name “Angola”
after the country in which its former slaves originated.
According to the press release, Harris used to work in the prison’s
hospital for years, but now he’s unemployed as a free man. He’s also in
need of “basic help for medications and other necessities to get him
started in his new life,” according to the release.
