![The image features a quote on a teal background with a faint silhouette of the state of California. The quote says, "I didn’t know that [I could vote after release from prison], you know. And not knowing is, man, the worst thing in the world. You miss your opportunity to be heard." It is attributed to a California participant incarcerated for 25 years. The Sentencing Project's logo is in the lower-left corner.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dmhybc7a53n53xnv5skxzhfu/bafkreigfiqonfhev54yvzzfrbwjcimt7uwwcrpyaxxd3bgoq2vi5i6icpu)
![A quote is displayed on a background with New York silhouetted. It reads: "The things that motivated me at 23 are not the same things that motivate me at 55. I'm motivated by the ability to wake up, and be there for my mother, who died every day of them 29 years [in prison] that I did...and be there and love the people that love me, and love them unconditionally." Below the quote, it says, "New York participant, incarcerated for 29 years."
