Eliminate Mandatory Minimums In NC

The State of North Carolina, under Structured Sentencing, has laws requiring inmates to serve at least a mandatory minimum of their sentence. This law, in addition to the fact that there is no parole in NC, keeps inmates incarcerated no matter how much progress they have made or rehabilitation they have diligently worked toward.
This bill was introduced in 2009. It was never voted on, it was never repealed...it was never addresed. We suggest that Senate Bill 589-2009/2010 Session be brought back to the Senate and that the laws requiring mandatory minimums be eliminated.
Please sign this petition if you support reinstating Senate Bill 589-Session 2009/2010 and the elimination of mandatory minimums in the state of North Carolina.
Please pass this petition on to everyone you know. Some people will sign if they know about it.
Use the comment section to explain why you feel that we need this bill passed. Some people do not understand what the elimination of mandatory minimums will do for the inmates, the families of inmates, the communities, and the taxpayers....this is where you can tell them!!!
Please see my blog...it will explain why this is a law that definitely needs to be changed. The blog can also be used in much more detail with no length restrictions to explain your feelings regarding this issue, so blog too if you would like.
Thank you for your support!!!
Bring back PAROLE in North Carolina!
This petition will be sent to the
The North Carolina Department of Corrections, the Governor, and Legislators
"Together we can make a change"
