Returning To Life From Serving Life

The first woman up for a potential re-sentencing in Santa Clara County due to Proposition 36 won her release. A 55-year-old grandmother, Lisa Carter had done 18 years of a life sentence due to the recently reformed 3 Strikes Law. Lisa' third offense was $150 shoplifting charge. When moved up from prison to the county jail in anticipation of court, Sister's That Been There founder Steeda McGruder was asked by Lisa's attorney to give counsel on the possible re-entry process.
