Keith Wattley, founder of UnCommon Law, is dedicated to supporting individuals serving life sentences in U.S. prisons to heal from trauma and prepare for parole. With over two million people incarcerated in the U.S., 200,000 are serving life sentences, with 40% of them being incarcerated before the age of 25.
Parole boards are responsible for determining who can safely be released on parole. Despite the supposed safeguards against bias in the parole process, disparities exist, with Black and brown candidates being less likely to be granted parole compared to their white counterparts.
