This petitiondated on July 30, 2012 for the release of Robert Ellison. My son went into the Federal Bureau of Prisons in January, 2000. My son entered Devens Federal Prison in Boston MA,needing a kidney transplant.Through his mother's and his prays he receiveda new kidney in February, 2011, but in April, 2011, Robert began to experience pain in his back. He was given stool softners.In April, 2012, he was taken to hospital for MRI.The MRI showed a tumor in the artery of the old kidney that was left in.In April, 2012, it was a very very painful month for me and my son. A week later,the MRI report came back that the tumor was cancerous and spreaded to his hip and was diagnosed with fourth stage cancer.

Robert is considerated a model prisoner and is amentorat Devens Federal Prison. He is a good man that made bad choices asmany young men do bydealing drugs.

The Alvis House in Columbus, Ohio, sent him a plane ticket in June to come home on September 11, 2012. They refused toaccept him on July 24th due to his illness and without proper staff.

PLEASE DON'T LET ROBERT, MY SON DIE IN PRISON

As his mother, Ifound a highly skilled oncologist who is willing to take his case.My home is open to him even if he needsan ankle monitor. Robert needs to be at home where he canget thebest medical care and most of allhe will have the support of his family and friends.

He served his time. Give him some mercy now that he is sick. This is just cruel.

This is heartbreaking. No one should have to pass away behind bars. Let him come home to his family for his final days.
