Charles Whiters has been an inmate in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections since he was 14 years old. He's currently incarcerated at Dick Connor Correctional Center in Hominy, Oklahoma. He was convicted for a felony murder and received a life sentence. He has been incarcerated for 26 years. We are demanding his release because he was an unwilling participant in a robbery gone bad. Prior to the robbery Mr. Whiters was passed out in the back seat of the car used in the robbery. Someone had slipped him a pill of some kind that knocked him out. He awoke later and learned of the crime committed by others who were riding in the car. He was on his way home still dazed from the drug when he was arrested by the Oklahoma City, police.
We're demanding his immediate release. He's done more than enough time on that sentence and has taken every DOC program he was eligible for. His path to freedom should be instant and you all can help make his release happen. Charles Whiters has paid his debt to society in more ways than one. He's an innocent man who has grown up from a small child to a bright and brilliant young man. Please sign the petition to get him freed.

I have spent the last few days reaching out to parole board contacts to highlight the injustice of this case. No one is listening yet, so go to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections website and file a formal request for his review today.

The momentum behind this campaign proves that people are finally paying attention to the injustice Charles has faced for twenty-six years. Post this link on your Facebook page today and email your state representative to demand his release immediately.

Charles is a good man that was in the wrong place at the wrong time as a kid. He is involved in religion strong in prison and does good works to change lives in the prison he is at. I have known him 10 years in prison and have known him to change lives . There is not a nother man that deserves being set free more than him.. he is the definition of reformed and deserves a chance to read enter society .
Everyone should be given the opportunity at a 2nd chance especially when he was not directly involved and was only found guilty by association as a minor. Everyone makes mistakes. He has served his time and deserves to be free.
He should have NEVER been incarcerated for this crime to begin with! He was not even involved in the robbery! This is a total injustice to him, his life was taken away for a crime committed by others. He should be released IMMEDIATELY!!
This is my little brother and yes he has paid his debt to society him and my older brother David Edwards .they were young and innocent at the time.this has took a toll on my family.please let him come home it's time already .
He's done more than enough time on that sentence and has taken every DOC program he was eligible for. His path to freedom should be instant!
Good man HE IS INNOCENTTTTTT
Freeeeeeee him

There are many cases as Mr. Whiters' that are grossly disproportionate concerning the treatment of those favored. Countless African American, Hispanic and other ethnic groups, ( men and women), are being housed in prisons across the nation without regard to redemption. I truly believe that Mr. Whiters has shown himself capable of making that transition back into society. Too many children are being charged as adults based on the crime without consideration of the circumstances that led up to the event. Mr. Whiters has served most of his life incarcerated as a child who has matured into a man with a insatiable work ethic, geared towards helping others in need. I petition to free Mr. Whiters as he has done naught in my eyes as his behavior has been and continues to be exemplary.
