Anthony Bailey’s Fight for Freedom

After 27 years in prison for a 1997 robbery, Anthony Bailey is set for early release — only for prosecutors to now demand he return behind bars, arguing he still poses a risk despite no new crimes. His case exposes how a Supreme Court ruling blocks retroactive relief from the First Step Act, leaving thousands like him trapped by outdated, harsh sentences — especially those targeting Black men. Now a bus driver and grandfather, Bailey’s attorneys fight to keep him free, calling his reentry a triumph of rehabilitation, not punishment — and warning another 25 years would be a cruel injustice.
