PRISONER EXPRESS

PAROLE DENIED. Come back and see us in 24 months. I would say from what I have seen, 35 out of 40 people that go to the parole board every month would see those lines when they get their answers back after the parole hearing. That's one thing I hope not to see when I go to my first parole appearance this June. I'm bringing nine years to the table and for some reason, the voice inside of me is saying that parole board would believe that, that time is not enough (like they are the ones who did the time).

People with violent crimes, from what I have seen, go home on conditional release date, that's if they didn't lose any good time. I would hate to CR on my bid, that would be 12 years of my life and I am only 25. I am trying to go home now!!

A lot of prisoners would see this as a lame move, but I am practically going to that hearing begging for my freedom. I had enough. I don't care what anyone thinks. I am doing this for me.

The parole is a system in its own. They do what they want when they want. There's no winning against them. I've seen the board give guys I know 24 months five times (that's crazy). They like playing with the felons who got life on their split. I'm sorry for them and I am happy for me, because I know eventually I'll be home. I have a CR but still I think the parole board division should give people who deserve it, who showed the change they made from the day they committed the crime to the day they have that initial hearing--A CHANCE!!!

I can't speak for nobody but myself and I can't do a referral for somebody I don't know, however; everybody gets a chance what you do with that chance is what counts. I know what I am going to do with mine and it's going to have nothing to do with crime. I am starting off fresh. I want be in a place where I will not have to see a parole board and worry about being given 24 months on top of the stretch I already have.
