Bobby Bostic – In the winter of 1995, 16-year-old Bobby Bostic participated in an armed robbery. After being found guilty on all 17 charges, the judge in Bobby’s case could have given him 30 years by running the sentences concurrently, but she chose to run them consecutively for a total of 241 years. He would not be eligible for parole until he was 112 years old. Thanks to Missouri Bill 2201, Bobby was finally released in November 2022. During his 27 years in Missouri State Prisons, Bobby became a paralegal, earned a business studies certificate and an Associate of Science, and wrote 13 nonfiction books, eight of which were self-published. His books deal with a wide range of topics and help paint a picture of what it’s like to be a child sentenced to death by incarceration. You can look through and purchase from Bobby’s collection here.
