Cory Ford was convicted of Robbery in August 2005 as a teenager. Since his release in 2007, Cory Ford has shown tremendous strides, not only in remorse, but in turning his life around. Cory Ford would go on to attend college at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he would receive his Bachelor's of Arts in Sociology. During his time at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Cory would become a leader in the classroom and on campus. In Spring 2012 Cory Ford was named to the Dean's List in which he accomplished a 3.75 GPA. During his years in school, Cory also served on a number of school programs. He worked with the Multicultral and Diversity Programs where he served as the Director of Race and Ethnicity and a student programmer. In his role, Cory oversaw and participated in the Free Food For Thought program. Cory also served as a Peer Mentor with the Blazer Male Excellence Network, where he would use his past experience to be a teaching tool for young men, in order to help them realize their potential. Academic accomplishments would not be all that Cory Ford would strive for, never forgetting the mistakes that he made, Cory also volunteered in the community, working with Habitat's for Humanity, The Ronald McDonald House and also speaking at the Birmingham Juvenile Justice Center. With all that Cory has worked to accomplish and all the change that he has made, he still remains unable to put his past behind him. In addition to his accomplishments, Cory is step father to 3 lovely children ages 5,13 and 17 with aspirations to get married to his fiance. Even with all the positive change he has done, he is still unable to locate a job due to his past and finding housing is just as daunting for him. Cory is filing for Executive Clemency from the Governor of Ohio to pardon him for his past as he seeks to continue the changes he has made. I ask that you please see it in your heart to sign this petition in support for Cory Ford, and for all that he was worked towards. If the true reason of incarceration is rehabilitation, then has Cory not shown that and more? Please find it in your heart to support this young man and as he seeks to close a long forgotten chapter in his life.

There is no person that i know that has worked as hard as him to better themselves as Cory Ford. He took his second chance and did what so few actually do. I am proud to call him one of my longest friends and look to him so guidance and support.
You absolutely have my support, I had the pleasure of knowing you throughout a short year of my college career. You supported the athletic teams and help tutor me when I missed classes due to competition. You are such an amazing guy, and I hope the system doesn't hender another person from turning their life around!
Cory is a hardworking and caring person. He is doing great work. I believe it is important for both him and the community that he is granted clemency from the Governor of Ohio.
I worked with Cory on Free Food for Thought. He is an amazing dude, and showed great mentorship in helping me learn my role as a facilitator. He definitely has made significant strides from where he was.
I only know Cory through UAB. We worked on a Social Work project today. He is an intelligent, hardworking student and individual, and one never would have been able to tell he had anything on his record. Please expunge him of whatever crime he committed. He has made great strides in the years since.
Congrats on your accomplishments.... Keep your head up.... Praying for you....
I knew Corey in grade school and most of my life he has become a stand up man and father. He deserves to be able to live his life free of his past.

I met him his last semester at UAB. He helped me and several other students keep up morale and stay on top of our school work. I truly believe he should have his record cleared in order to continue his life away from his past.
