Hear from a woman who spent nearly 32 years in federal prison without a release date — until President Joe Biden commuted her sentence in one of his final acts in office. Then, read more about how she held on to her sanity — with the help of her fiercest advocate, her daughter.
In 1994, Michelle was sentenced to two life terms plus 50 years under mandatory minimum sentencing laws that have a disproportionate impact on Black and brown communities. She had no prior criminal record.

On Feb. 17, Miquelle West drove herself to the LA airport, parked her SUV and sobbed. Her mother, Michelle, was being released after nearly 32 years in federal prison.
Sentenced to two life terms plus 50 years in 1994, the former Detroiter was finally released, thanks largely to her daughter.

We asked Detroiters which longstanding issues in the city challenge them most.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents said "safety.” A similar number said things like blight, lighting and problems with sidewalks.
