From Death Row to Freedom | Renaldo Hudson’s 37-Year Prison Testimony

In this episode of From Wrong to Strong, Omar Calvillo sits down with Renaldo Hudson, a man who spent nearly 40 years incarcerated, including 13 years on Illinois’ death row.

Righteously convicted for a violent crime, Renaldo’s life could have ended behind bars. Instead, it was transformed. Through faith in Christ, education, and deep personal accountability, he rebuilt his life from the inside out.

After receiving two executive clemencies, first from Governor George Ryan and years later from Governor JB Pritzker, his sentence was ultimately commuted to time served.

Today, Renaldo serves as Education Director for the Illinois Prison Project, advocating for rehabilitation, second chances, and lasting change. This conversation covers his early years, life on death row, spiritual awakening, release, and the mission that now drives him. A powerful story of justice, mercy, and redemption.
