My brother , Sacha Bond D.O.B 08-30-1984 has been
TOLD by the Canadian Government that he is No Longer Eligible to be
transferred back to Canada with an International Transfer of Offenders Request ,
this was his 4th request to be Transferred back to his own country (Canada,
Ottawa, Ontario) in 10 years while incarcerated in Florida (Jan.30, 2004).
Sacha has now been abandoned by his own Country and doomed to another 10
years in one of Florida's worst prisons, DADE Correctional Institution . Canada
does not care that my brother will be spending another 10 years away from his
family and will have spent More Than Half his Life Behind Bars Without Any
Rehabilitation.
Sacha was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at the
age of 18 and has not received any help whatsoever wether it be Medical or
Mental for his condition. At the time of his arrest he was off of his
medication . When the Jury deliberated during Sacha's trial, they came back 3
time asking to please give them an explanation of the meaning of Bipolar
Disorder. The Jury convicted Sacha without understanding his mental
condition AND SENTENCED HIM TO 20 YEARS IN A FLORIDA PRISON.

I was just looking at the count and we are almost at two hundred and fifty which is actually wild because I feel like this started just yesterday even though it has been ten years for Sacha. Can you please send this link to a few people right now because having that specific milestone hit will actually make someone look at us for once instead of just ignoring the whole situation.

I keep reading the messages you all are leaving here and it is just overwhelming because seeing his name connected to so much kindness makes the government silence feel even colder. I am still trying to pull together more records regarding his mental health history because they simply refuse to acknowledge how much he has been struggling without any actual care or medical support.

I was looking at the screen and just processing the sheer amount of people who actually care about Sacha and it felt like a total blur because it is all so surreal. It is wild to think about how much energy is behind this now and maybe someone in a position of power will finally look at the facts of his case instead of just ignoring the reality of his condition. Thank you for not letting him be forgotten in that place.

20 years for attempted murder, first time offense, no chance of parole and no treatment for his mental illness? The Justice system makes no sense
It truly unreal how our Canadian Government treats our own. Bring him back home, he was just a kid at the time of his arrest. Not given a second chance, but given the boot, out of sight out of mind.
This is wrong. The man should not be denied help for his medical and mental health. Also his sentence should be reviewed in light of his condition. If he has to serve time in prison it should be in Canada, not the U.
Please send this man home to his family. This is an inhumane sentence. Canada should have insisted on intervention.
Sacha is a victim of the privatized prison system in the U.S. His sentence is ridiculous. He should be with his family.
Sacha Bond should have been transferred to a Canadian Prison long ago. Shame on our government for not stepping up and helping this man.
This man is dying and they are treating him worse than an animal! It's not like he can get up and walk out. Those guards can stand OUTSIDE THE ROOM to give some privacy. SHAME ON OUR GOVERNMENT FOR TREATING ONE OF OUR OWN CANADIAN CITIZENS LIKE THAT!!!!

Sacha is my Nephew and I am very concerned for his safety and mental health. He's very sweet and has a big heart. I see him working with children once he's habilitated, growing up he was very sweet, kind and patient with my young son. I would love to see him back in Canada.
