Episode description
In July 2024, the Rhode Island Supreme Court upheld Mario’s Law, which gives juvenile offenders a chance at freedom after serving 20 years. A month after the ruling, Mario Monteiro – the man the law was named for – was released. He faced two life sentences as a 17-year-old, and served 23 years in prison. Monteiro joins host Ed Fitzpatrick to talk about life in prison as a young person, and the human capacity for change. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com.
