On the night of Sept. 14, Rasheed Lockheart, 42, prepared for his first time back at San Quentin State Prison since his release in January, where he served 18 years of a 24-year sentence. 

He took a trip to the 99 cent store in Benicia, California, where he bought items such as: a toothbrush; one pack of razors; one bottle of men’s shampoo; one bottle of of 3-in-1 body wash; a loofah, two packs of hangers; and a bandana for “Uncle Mike” Gonzalez, 59, who was being released on Sept. 15 after serving 24 years of a 30-year sentence.

Lockheart and his wife arrived at San Quentin a little before 6:30 a.m. where he met up with Gonzalez’s family, as they all awaited his release that didn’t happen until 7:50 a.m. 
“Waiting at the gate felt like forever” Michele Gonzlez, Mike’s daughter expressed as she explained that she had experienced a restless night and lots of anxiety prior to her father’s release.
 
“I don’t want him to ever go back there”, Michele expresses as she explains that she looks forward to being able to spend time with her father after 24 years, and the steps he needs to take in order to stay out manage to not go back, “I want him to get into groove of having a job and different routine than what he’s used to.”

On Sept. 11, three days prior to Lockheart’s release, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 21-47, which allows previously incarcerated people to apply to get their records expunged in order to work as first responders following their release.
