Frank Ross was supposed to die in prison - but a few days ago, he became one of the few incarcerated people in Pennsylvania to be granted released under the state’s “compassionate release” policy. Frank is 93-years-old and was released into the care of a hospice. He is ill, unable to walk, and until a few days ago, he depended on the care of other incarcerated men to get around in prison.

We profiled Frank Ross’s story on the second season of our podcast, “Suave.” In Episode 4, we explore the tight-knit inter-generational relationships formed in prison, including that of Suave and Frank, his mentor and father figure. Over more than four decades in prison, Frank worked hard to make amends. He stayed out of trouble - never receiving a single disciplinary infraction. Instead, he poured all his time into writing, publishing novels, plays and essays. And he spent most of his time teaching young men like Suave to write, tutoring them, and fathering them in the best way he could.

Today, there are currently more seniors in prison then ever before in history - it’s a phenomenon that’s been called the “graying of the prison population.” Now free for the first time in decades, Frank hopes to reconnect with his family and to spend the time he has left on Earth writing, and using his words for positive change. 🎧Listen to Suave wherever you get your podcasts to learn more.🎧

Just months after Trump took office this year, she was arrested and shackled by ICE agents during her lunch break at work. Her attorneys say she was targeted because of her political activism.

While still detained, Latino USA conducted an exclusive interview with Vizguerra, during which she told Maria Hinojosa she was “a political prisoner.”
