Show Notes

Keith Nunes committed a murder as an 18-year-old, a crime that landed him a life sentence. Last year, after more than two decades in prison, Nunes was released, thanks to a law passed by Rhode Island's General Assembly. Under what’s known as Mario’s Law, people who committed a crime before they turned 22 may appear before the parole board after they’ve been in prison for 20 years. Nunes is one of only three men to be released under the law. He joins us to talk about his personal story and why he believes Rhode Islanders who leave prison should get more support. Tips and ideas?
