Please sign petition if you believe sentencing on drug charges should be reformed. Local non-violent drug users and offenders are given more prison time than murderers or child-molesters. Drug offenders are now given non-suspendable sentences and regardless of what they accomplish in prison to show they're reformed, they are denied early release. I believe drug offenders should be given a second chance if they obtain their GED and go on to earn their Associates or Bachelor's degree while in prison. I believe each case should be judged upon reform for re-enty and not a pre-set law that requires an offender to serve 20 or more years, regardless of what they've accomplished. I believe this would solve the problem of over-crowding in prisons and the cost to taxpayers for building more prisons. I believe drug offenders in prison for the first time should be given a second chance!
its totally insane how much money we waste keeping these guys locked up for decades when they have actually turned their lives around. keep families together and let them get back to work.
