Dear Citizens:

We have become a Prison Nation incarcerating nearly 4 million people; 27 million are under supervision and close to 2.5 million juveniles have been arrested since 2009.  WHC focuses on imprisonment within Ohio with 3 major target areas.

(A) Abolition of the Parole Board, (B) Sentencing guidelines are adhered to for all inmates and (C) Rehabilitation is recognized through-out Ohio.

We are petitioning for 400,000 signatures to present to Ohio State Legislature Governor John Kasich Office that Prison Reform is needed in Ohio and through-out the United States.

We propose the following:

(1)   Elimination of the Ohio Adult Parole Board Authority  in its entirety

(2)   Reduction of prison overcrowding (Begin a process of release for old law prisoners sentenced before 1996)

(3)   Retro-active penalties to Judges that have sentenced outside of Ohio commissioned sentencing guidelines

(4)   Re-Entry program accountability (All re-entry programs that were given monies by the state of Ohio with-in the last 10 years be mandated to present successful data that justifies their programming cost and community re-entry success statistics

(5)   Reduction of the recidivism rate utilizing alternative programming for lesser crimes such as 4^th & 5^th degree felonies

(6)   Transitional housing be establish for felons being released

(7)   Ensure that all parole and probation departments are adhering to all community re-entry procedures.

Thank you very much for your support for more information please review or blog and links section. WHC
