Andrew Landells is serving a 15-year federal sentence for nonviolent marijuana trafficking and money laundering. Denied bond at arrest, he was forced to navigate a system where defendants must either accept a plea deal or risk a life sentence at trial. Andrew is a vocal advocate for ending the prolonged injustices faced by nonviolent marijuana prisoners and their families — injustices that devastate women and children emotionally, financially, and socially. A father whose incarceration forced his two youngest daughters to leave private school, Andrew speaks out about the forgotten families left behind and the urgent need for reform. He draws parallels between today’s prison population and the 1980s drug epidemic, calling for solutions modeled after successful rehabilitation programs abroad, where keeping families together reduces recidivism.
