Maurice is finally coming home after nineteen years of waiting for justice. I am drained from the fight but I am relieved that our persistence forced the right outcome for his family. We keep watching until he is through the front door.

Please sign this page or petition for Maurice Clifton SR, with hopes of him receiving clemency on the conviction of aiding + abetting the sale of 6.4 grams of cocaine. Mr.Clifton was a well respected, community leader who owned a grocery store in Mound Bayou, Mississippi. He has spent 19 years and 10 months in the federal prison of a 33 years sentence for a first time drug conviction. He is the proud father of 8 boys, and a loving grandfather and sibling. During his incarceration he has taken numerous classes and apprenticeship, to ensure that he can become gainfully employed upon his release. Some of the classes include typing I and II where he now types 50 wpm in programs such as Microsoft office, Basic and advance computer learning; Department of labor teachers aide, Apprenticeship 4000 hrs, and teacher's assistant, 1000 hrs; National center for construction education and research, core certification, going green, and basic electrical. He has been employed in UNICOR prison industries where he has been proficient in the SAP program. Mr. Clifton has also been a wellness instructor and a vocational instructor at several institutions. He is a current member of Toastmasters where he served as president of the Inside Out chapter. He also has accumulated over 6000 hrs of education programs and facilitated numerous re-entry and mentorship programs.
If the current guidelines that are in effect today were in place when Mr. Clifton was sentenced, he could only receive a maximum of 20 years for the charges he is currently serving. These are based on new guidelines set forth in Appendi and Booker.
Everybody deserves a second chance and an opportunity to become a productive citizen. Mr. Clifton is seeking clemency based on society's change in its view, and he has been fully rehabilitated and wants a second chance to become a productive citizen.

Reaching this level of support has been a long road and I am drained but still pushing forward for Maurice. Seeing these names grow gives me the resolve to keep fighting even when the days feel heavy.

Maurice Clifton is remorseful for his past mistakes and works daily to rectify the errors of his past. He strives daily to help other men better their lives with skills upon returning home. Maurice also has intensive plans to empower his community. Most importantly, he unconditionally loves his children and family. Please allow him the opportunity to be ONE with all of them again.
My wife works with one of Mr. Cliftons' sons. He is an outstanding young man who has missed having a father while growing up. I believe Mr Clifton deserves a second chance to be a good father and will no doubt be a productive member of society.
There are people in our nation who commit heinous crimes and serve much less time than Maurice Clifton, Sr. was given. I believe that if he were to be released, he would be a great contributor to society. He has served nearly 20 years already for a first time offense and deserves to be released so he can enjoy his wonderful, supportive family.
Our dad has done alot of time, and has missed out on alot. Including the death of or mother, his wife. His time will be filled with positive things and alot of catching up. I plan on running a restaurant with my dad one day. Hopefully you can make a life long dream of mines come true, and give my father another chance at life. Thank you and God bless
Let my Uncle prove to the world how much he can help in a positive way.... I believe in him, and I have worked in Law Enforcement over 12 years. I've seen what a "Chance" will do for people... I will vouch for Maurice Clifton Sr.
This is my uncle,the system is good for certain people ALL THE OFFICER THAT TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM has been convicted of corruption.I have seen murders GET less time then he received.His case needed to be investigated again.WHERE IS THE JUSTICE..
I feel he served his time please let him go I mis him really need him home please
