Free nonviolent drug prisoners
Support people still serving long federal time for cannabis and other nonviolent drug offenses. Clemency, resentencing, and reentry are not abstractions. They are neighbors, parents, and friends.
The Story
Seven years of disruption. A voice that stayed.
Jeremy Grove rebuilt a life in South Carolina after college: baseball, work, and eventually a daughter. In March 2017 federal agents arrested him at home. His daughter was about eighteen months old.
On January 17, 2019 he was sentenced to sixty months under a federal mandatory minimum for marijuana trafficking. He served most of that time in camp, including about fourteen months in the SHU during COVID. Counting nearly three years of pretrial detention, the case cost him roughly seven years.
He was released in January 2023 and returned to the Charleston area to be near his daughter. While incarcerated he wrote the novel Legalized and kept a blog alive through mailed pages that an editor transcribed. Those years did not end his voice. They trained it.
