OUTRAGEOUS: Bobby Sneed. 74 year old veteran. Caged in Angola Prison for 47 years. Finally, unanimously granted parole. Then hospitalized. Prison claims it was a drug overdose. It's now over a month after his scheduled release date. They won't let him go. thelensnola.org/2021/05/04/a-m…
Family: “We were planning to meet him in Baton Rouge the day he was released with open arms to welcome him home. He has four children. And they were all ready to come and welcome him home.” 4 days before this date, he collapsed.
Bobby's since recovered & he's now being held in "administrative segregation." A fancy way of saying the torture of solitary confinement.
Next hearing: May 5. "The stakes are going to be whether Bobby dies in prison, or spends the final years of his life w/ his family members."

His attorney: “If Bobby’s parole is rescinded, he'll in all likelihood die in prison, costing taxpayers $24k/yr til that day arrives. There is a far better option. Bobby has a robust support network—including family members & nonprofit organizations — eager to welcome him home.”
