"Lockheart is doing everything he can to advocate for those on the inside, and his work at Planting Justice is part of that mission. He’s become an unofficial media spokesperson, doing interviews with KQED, PRX’s Snap Judgment podcast, Oaklandside and others, using his firsthand experience and ongoing communication with those inside to shed light on the growing crisis inside California’s prison walls."

    • I have seen myself in the best, best headspace in my life. I’m not drinking no more. I’m eating healthier. It took me to come here, to be here, to really learn to love myself again.
