Congresswoman Karen Bass On Prison Reform & Helping Free Donte Westmoreland on Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee [UNCENSORED]
In this week’s installment of Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee [UNCENSORED], host Jason Lee, along with co-hosts Blue Telusma and DJ Damage, welcome California Congresswoman Karen Bass as the featured guest and special guest Donte Westmoreland, a long-time friend of Lee’s from Stockton, who at age 22, served more than three years of an almost eight-year sentence in Kansas prison for marijuana possession, before Lee, engaged Bass, and together with Westmoreland’s lawyer, got him a temporary released and retrial after finding alleged prosecutorial misconduct.
Against the backdrop of these turbulent times of civil unrest and an overheating distrust of law enforcement, Congresswoman Bass, the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, has an emotional first meeting with Westmoreland.
An in-depth discussion ensues between the hosts, Bass and Westmoreland, as they all reveal why reforming the justice system is an important issue to each of them, including Lee, who in his book “God Must Have Forgotten About Me,” tells the story of his late brother Rodney who was incarcerated for most of Lee’s troubled past. He also surprisingly discusses his “depressing” experience working as a probation officer for three years.
