Maria Hinojosa first met David Luis “Suave” Gonzalez when he was serving life without parole — sentenced as a juvenile. What began as a chance visit inside a Pennsylvania prison grew into a decades-long story of friendship, justice and redemption.
Suave’s journey out of prison exposes the harsh realities of juvenile sentencing, the complexities of freedom under lifelong parole, and the fragile line between journalist and subject. Along the way, Maria confronts the emotional toll this story takes on her family and herself.
