Suave
Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Audio Reporting The U.S is the only country in the world that allows minors to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Approximately 2,500 juveniles have been effectively sentenced to die in prison—considered “irredeemable” by the state for crimes committed when they were just teenagers. One of them was David Luis “Suave” Gonzalez, who entered prison at 17 expecting to leave in a coffin. Suave tells the story of what happens when your whole world is a prison cell, and you suddenly get a second chance at life. It’s the story of one man’s incarceration and redemption and an unusual relationship between a journalist and a source.

This is one of my favorites of all time it’s like I walked the whole process through with you all! I am so happy that you shared this experience and I hope that many more people will be helped and released to have a second chance at life especially since they were children at the time.
A Story of Relationships and Hope 👏🏼👏🏼

I binged the whole season of Suave today and all I can say is WOW! As a criminal justice professional who works in Pennsylvania and taught a juvenile Justice class at DePaul University in Chicago for 7 years, I was not surprised by a lot but very happy for such a storybook outcome. People do not realize the importance of relationships in reducing recidivism. People have to know that other people care….and I mean that from both sides of this story. It is as much about Suave as it is about Maria Hinojosa. Bravo! Pulitzer Prize very much deserved!
Amazing.

I heard the first episode on Ear Hustle during their breaks in between seasons and omg. I immediately became obsessed. The relationship between Suave and Maria was so authentic. I love everything about this story. I love how real and honest Suave was through out the season! And the Pulitzer episode was the icing. I love it and I hope there’s more to come!
Great!!!!
