Sean and Eboni Worsley and The House of Wise Justice For All Campaign

Last Prisoner Project constituents and House of Wise creative partners Sean and Eboni Worsley share their story and voice to share firsthand how unjust cannabis convictions have deep ripple effects on families. House of Wise launched its Justice For All Campaign with Last Prisoner Project. In honor of 420, they are promoting a petition urging the Biden Administration to create an independent Presidential Cannabis Clemency Board to expedite the release of over 40,000 people sitting in jail for something that is legal in 37 states. Last Prisoner Project constituents and House of Wise creative partners Sean and Eboni Worsley are using their story and voice to share firsthand how unjust cannabis convictions have deep ripple effects on families. The Worsleys' story is a harrowing illustration of how the criminal sentence doesn't truly end after leaving prison, and why cannabis clemency is vital in criminal justice reform. Sean Worsley earned a Purple Heart for his service in Iraq, where he had the dangerous job of disabling roadside bombs. When an IED knocked him unconscious, he suffered a traumatic brain injury and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. But by 2012, Worsley felt optimistic: he had fallen in love and married his wife, Eboni Worsley, and he had a prescription for medical marijuana to help treat the insomnia, paranoia, and night terrors caused by his PTSD. But their life as they knew it came to a screeching halt in 2016, when Sean and Eboni Worsley were arrested on cannabis charges in Alabama while on a road trip to visit their extended family. After six years of legal and personal trauma – including probation, incarceration, homelessness, health issues, and being separated from Sean's children — the Worsleys are only now beginning to rebuild their lives and their family.
