My dad is currently incarcerated in Arizona. He is facing years in prison for non-violent/non-repetative offenses. This is his first time being in jail. He is mentally ill. There was a chance for him to go to a mental health diversion program and the county attorney denied it. Sign this if you think helping people (and my dad Bryan Bays) with mental illness is more important than sending them to prison! Stop the bleed. This petition is intended to show judge Cardinal the support for my dad in helping him rehabilitate from his mental illness rather than throwing him in a 4x4 with no help with his illness.
It’s important that we have compassion for people during their times of need. Everyone deals with thing differently and some of us need a little help in that department. We should show this man that he’s not a number, that just because he made a mistake does not mean he is forsaken. There is no need for a martyr, what we need is for someone to take the time, and help this man get his life back on track and his mental health back together, so that he can give back to society what we gave to him.
