According to source, Travis Cullen, a convicted non violent cannabis felon and now legal cannabis business owner in the US, he has alleged that the Last Prisoner project, has, over the last year been diverting funds away from prisoners and their families and into the organisation’s payroll structure.

Recently CLR published the following story trying to define via publicly released annual reports where donation funds were being allocated within the organisation

Read

As we highlighted in the piece. Rather than defining numbers in their 2024 report, instead, all we see are pie charts detailng % expenditure under the catch all heading, “Programs” totalling $US2,270,151.00.

Another source has also alleged in conversation with CLR that certain executives in 2023 and 2024 had been paid bonuses not outlined in their annual reports for the corresponding years under Management & General.

Please see our prior story outling official executive payments as defined in their annual reports.

Despite raising $3 million in donations, Cullen alleges that LPP now only sends  $300 to select inmates every three months, totaling roughly $110,000 annually.

This amount has already been slashed from previous years, and he says their current plan is to cut grants for released inmates from $5,000 to $1,000 in 2026 and moving forward

Meanwhile he estimates that LPP’s payroll has skyrocketed from $271,975 in 2021 to $1,345,995 in 2023.

Cullen writes,

Founder Mary Bailey, who leads this organization, lives a lavish lifestyle while inmates continue to struggle.

She and LPP aggressively chase credit for others’ work, taking over platforms meant for genuine grassroots organizations and leaving smaller nonprofits struggling to make a difference.

Based on available records, there is no public estimate of the total net worth for Mary Bailey, co-founder and Managing Director of the Last Prisoner Project.

Information regarding her finances and professional background includes:

• Nonprofit Compensation: Tax filings for the Last Prisoner Project (a non-profit organization) indicate her annual compensation as Managing Director has been reported in the range of roughly $82,000 to over $119,000 in recent years.
• Industry Background: Before joining the Last Prisoner Project, Bailey was the executive producer of the Maui Cannabis Conference and CEO of Alpha Agency, a Hawaii-based production company.
• Recognition: She has been recognized in the High Times list of the “Top 100 Most Influential People in the Cannabis Industry”.

What does this mean in practice?

Cullen..

It means that every time politicians or other nonprofits make meaningful progress in cannabis reform, the Last Prisoner Project swoops in to take credit.

This clout-chasing damages the movement, undermining organizations that are actually helping prisoners.

In a Linked In post dated 25 January 2026 Cullen also highlights the experience of Edwin Rubis who has spent 27 years in federal prison for cannabis.

This is a picture of Last Prisoner Project’s website **today** — and this is a picture of the website **a week ago** with **Edwin Rubis’ face on it.**

Edwin Rubis has spent **27 years in federal prison for cannabis**…
while cannabis is now a **$30–50B industry** in America.

Here’s what the cannabis community needs to hear:

**Last Prisoner Project (LPP) raises close to $4 MILLION a year** off “cannabis prisoner justice.” Edwin’s case was one of the *main stories* they pushed — **front and center** — because it’s an obvious injustice and it moves people to donate.

But Edwin’s **direct support was cut.**

His support went from about **$300** down to **$60 every three months.** Edwin asked them to bring it back up… and instead of stepping up, they **quietly removed Edwin from their website.**

No post. No explanation. **Just gone.**

So let’s be real:
If you’re raising millions every year in the name of prisoners… how is a man doing **27 years for cannabis** living on **$60 every 3 months**?

That’s not justice. That’s marketing.

✅ Edwin is a **Latino father**
✅ **27 years served** on a **40-year sentence**
✅ About **8 years left** if nothing changes
✅ Still needs **real support** while we push for clemency

**PLEASE SHARE** — the cannabis community deserves to know.
And if you want to help Edwin the right way, **donate directly** to Edwin’s fundraiser:

Cullen concludes by writing

In reality, LPP has become a PR machine rather than a lifeline for inmates. The flashy campaigns and big claims distract from their lack of substantial support for the very people they use to fundraise.

As an eight-year federal prison veteran and first-time felon, I urge you: do not support Mary Bailey or the Last Prisoner Project. There are better, more accountable organizations working for incarcerated individuals. The prisoners deserve real support, not empty promises.
