Free Jarred Shaw.
American basketball player Jarred Shaw was sentenced in Indonesia over about $400 worth of gummies he was using for Crohnโs disease. His sentence has been reduced to 26 months, but he faces serious medical risks. The Vlasic Classic Foundation supports Jarred through Forgotten Prisoner, and the tournament is pushing for his return to the U.S. for medical care.
