Last Prisoner Project
CHANGE IS COMING
Join Mayflower in supporting the Last Prisoner Project.
Imagine being confined to a cell for years, decades, or even a lifetime, for an action that is no longer considered a crime, while thousands of others are now building generational wealth from the very same activity.
This is the harsh reality for over 40,000 cannabis prisoners in the United States, with countless more suffering in jails and prisons worldwide. The Last Prisoner Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform. Our mission is to address the injustices of past and current drug policies through legal interventions, public education, and legislative advocacy.
Donate Today
You can support our cause by visiting Mayflower to donate to the Last Prisoner Project. Our Roll It Up For Justice Program is a nationwide campaign through dispensaries that allows customers to donate by rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar. Every small contribution brings us closer to the day when every cannabis prisoner is freed.
About The Last Prisoner Project
The Last Prisoner Project focuses on three main criminal justice reform areas: prisoner release, record clearing through clean slate initiatives, and reentry programs. A central part of our work is advocating for the release of individuals imprisoned for cannabis offenses. However, we know that most released prisoners struggle without adequate resources. A criminal record often hinders access to employment, housing, financial aid, and more, which is why we provide expungement services and support broad, automatic clean slate policies. Additionally, our reentry programs aim to reduce recidivism by offering the resources, support, and education needed for a successful reintegration into society.

Constituent Stories
The criminalization of cannabis has inflicted deep wounds on our communities. Those who have been incarcerated for cannabis are not criminals—they are parents, siblings, friends, and neighbors. Despite the progress in legalization, many continue to suffer the collateral consequences of the War on Drugs.
