Governor Rick Scott
PLEASE VISIT WWW.FORGOTTENMAJORITY.COM TO SIGN THIS PETITION AND ENSURE THAT YOUR SIGNATURE IS COUNTED! PLEASE DO NOT SIGN BELOW.
Join with ForgottenMajority.com in petitioning Governor Rick Scott to take action to reinstate Florida’s Parole System. Florida has the third largest prison system in the country and any offender who committed a crime after October 1, 1983 is ineligible for parole. This accounts for a prison population in Florida that is bulging at the seams, exceeding 100,000 inmates and costing tax payers $2.3 billion annually. There are several dynamics at work here starting with the adoption of mandatory minimum sentencing which may force a judge to impose an extreme sentence that is not commensurate with the crime or the circumstances. Instead, providing rehabilitation to paroled offenders would reduce the financial headlock Corrections holds around the necks of all Floridians. For offenders and their families, no hope of parole means no hope at all. Help us to help those who have served time and have shown themselves worthy of that second chance. Our goal is 50,000 signatures to be delivered to Governor Rick Scott.

bring back parole
my brother has been locked up since 92 for a mistake he made when he was just a kid. he is a different man now and its time he gets to come home to his family
Florida prisons are overflowing and wasting so much of our tax money. These people have served enough time and deserve a shot at getting their lives back
WE NEED PAROLE BACK ASAP. SO MANY FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THESE INSANE SENTENCES

Parole would be a great idea
Parole would be a great idea
Controversial sentrances like those by judge Shelby and judge Tharpe warrant parole to give a chance to people who deserbe it but deprived by lynch mob mentality
