On May 12, 2015, Dwayne Jewel Hill went before the Pardon Board for the State of Louisiana. He received a unanimous vote for a commutation of his life sentence to 99 years with Immediate Parole Eligibility. Dwayne has served nearly 27 years in prison mostly in the Louisiana State Prison in Angola also at Dixon Correctional Institution. He has received the support and recommendation of release from state and federal officials, Pastors, Community Leaders, Businesses and more!

Dwayne has been a model prisoner, has helped others to better themselves. He has achieved and excelled in being a productive man during his incarceration. Dwayne will be a productive citizen when allowed to return to a free society. Please sign the petition requesting Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal sign the 2015 Governor appointed Pardon Board recommendation to reduce his life sentence therefore making him eligible for immediate Parole.

I had the privilege of meeting Dwayne a couple years ago while ministering at DCI. I was very impressed to see how God has used him to impact the lives of the men at DCI.

I have known Dwayne all of my life. This has been a tremendous burden on him and his family. He is an honest person and deserves his freedom. He has missed so much during the past 26 years, but his faith has never been waived. Please allow him this parole with time served. Thank you for your time. May God bless you! Enjoy your day! Thanks for your time! With kindest regards, I am Sonja Smith Schaffer

I would greatly recommend that Dwayne Hill would be most productive in society especially in these days where there is so much unexplainable happenings. The youth are greatly in need of a real like experience like Dwayne has endured to let them know that life has so much to offer them if they stay focus on the right things. I would like to see Dwayne Hill be release to be a voice in today's communities.

Everyone deserves a second chance in life. Mr Hill has proven his rehabilitation which is evident by the support of state and federal officials, his community, family and countless others. I pray that God grants his favor for Mr. Hill and that the Govenor signs the 2015 Governor appointed Pardon Board recommendation to reduce Mr. Hill's life sentence making him eligible for immediate parole.

Dwayne Jewel Hill deserves an opportunity to show that he is a productive citizen & be released from prison. He is a minister to all & would be a fantastic mentor to our youth. I pray you show favor & grant his release.
