We are thrilled to announce that Christian Reichert is HOME! The LPP constituent has been released from prison after serving nearly 8 years of a 23-year sentence for cannabis in Illinois.
His mother Tina asked us to share this statement:
”I just want to thank everyone that has helped Christian, I’m overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support and generosity. We are truly grateful and could not have gotten prepared for him without the help of so many and the help we received from organizations like The Last Prisoner Project. We appreciate them all greatly.
We are so excited [to have Christian home].He’s having a lot of anxiety in this transition after almost 8 years of being incarcerated but is looking forward to [being] home. Please keep him and my family in your prayers during this celebration of freedom.”
Christian has been part of our advocacy program where he has received commissary payment, letters of support, and release advocacy. He will now be a part of the Last Prisoner Project reentry program, where we will help provide resources to aid in his successful transition back into society.
We will keep you updated on Christian’s reentry journey as he returns to his community.
