Bad Health and potential freedom - Temujin Kensu

from One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Recently, I caught up with Temujin Kensu, a man who has been incarcerated since 1986 for a crime he couldn't possibly have committed. Temujin has endured a great deal over his nearly 40 years behind bars, and as he gets older, his health issues have become a daily struggle. This struggle has recently been made even harder by the MDOC confiscating items he relies on to manage his medical needs.In this conversation, Temujin talks us through why he believes this has happened, and the serious ramifications—including the possibility that he may be moved to a maximum-security prison.But it’s not all bad news. Recently, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life without parole sentences for individuals aged between 19 and 20 are unconstitutional. This landmark decision could open a path toward Temujin’s eventual release.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here. Hosted on Acast.
