Part of Decarceration Day, 2019. Chet Hunter is a 54 year old black male who has spent 31 years of his life in America’s prison systems. In his younger days he was a student at Highline College and played on the basketball team for this School. In 1975 at the age of 15 he began his first “tour of duty” in California’s penal institute San Quentin. He calls it a “tour of duty” because going to prison is not much different then going to war. The only difference is there is no honor in this war. He has been inside the “belly of the whale.” He knows first hand what it is like to be lost, confused, and shut out. So it is with his many years of knowledge and experience that he brings to shed light on Decarceration and our goal to bring about change.
