He was due to graduate as a lawyer after 12 years in prison, but ceremony was canceled due to pandemic
Ángel Sánchez, 37, has dreamed of graduating since he was locked up almost two decades ago, but the pandemic has denied him, at least temporarily. He's waiting for a new date from the University of Miami. "Losing that ceremony might hurt a little, but in no way does it change anything about me or my focus," he says. This story is part of the 'Second Chances' project that seeks, among other goals, to raise awareness of racial discrimination and how it is reflected in the prison system.
