Aaron’s sentence was commuted by President Obama after 18 years behind bars for a non-violent drug offense. Despite having the unfailing support of family and friends,the adjustment has not been seamless.
After a mandatory two month stint in a halfway house, Aaron was able to finally to move out, or leaving a life of rules and surveillance behind. He will remain on parole for up to five years,but has been able to secure a new job with a career track.
