The Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo Law Announces Client Larry Hoover Has Been Granted Clemency

The Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo Law announced that its client Larry Hoover has been granted clemency after serving over 52 years in prison. Hoover, now 74, spent the last three decades at the ADX Florence supermax facility, much of it in solitary confinement. During his incarceration, he transformed his life by teaching himself to read, earning his GED, and pursuing studies in various subjects. He has renounced his past gang affiliations and is committed to mentoring at-risk youth. Executive Director Josh Dubin played a key role in advocating for Hoover’s release, alongside the Holloway Project and attorney Justin Moore. The clemency underscores the Center’s mission to challenge wrongful convictions and excessive sentencing through clemency and parole efforts.
