Under the First Step Act, some of these former kingpins are eligible for release from prison. The catch is, itÃffÃ'¢EUR(TM)s not an automatic release. You have to have a recommendation from the warden of your prison, get approval from your sentencing judge, or receive a presidential pardon.

The series will feature interviews with friends, family, community leaders, and supporters and tell the story of three former Kingpins fighting for freedom and how their incarceration has affected their families and community.
