Our criminal justice system is broken. There is one system for the privileged and another system for people of color, the poor, and the disenfranchised. Too many lives are impacted by these discriminatory policies. This must change! We hope you will join us at Our Revolution Essex County NJ in this fight! *1 should say end the criminalization*

Impeachment of Glynn County Magistrate Judge J Alexandra Atwood for violation of his Oath of Office, for illegally setting bail in a "Voluntary Manslaughter" {Murder} case. Ex-Kingsland GA Police Office Zechariah M. Presley was granted bail in the amount $100,000 even though he shot and killed Tony Green, Jr in cold blood, two shots from the back ~ a total of 9 bullets? He was Granted bail on Monday, July 23, 2018. In accordance with Georgia Law Magistrate Judges cannot set bail in cases of serious violent felonies {Voluntary Manslaughter} is listed in the SB 441 Mandatory Minimums, Georgia's Seven Deadly Sins, therefore magistrate Judges have "NO" jurisdiction nor authority to set bail in a Voluntary Manslaughter charge, this crime is only bailable before a Judge of Superior Court.

Introduced by Assemblymember Rob Bonta, the Pardon and Commutation Reform Act of 2018 will create the Pardon and Commutation Panel that will take over the responsibilities of the current Board of Parole Hearings. This five-member panel, each of who will have experience with “in community-based reentry, reentry services, community-based risk assessment issues, and immigration law” will meet monthly to review submitted applications for pardons and make recommendations to the Governor. In current law, the Governor is the only one who can pardon former inmates of their past crimes, a power that can easily be tainted by individual bias. These individuals can wait years to receive a pardon, and in those years, struggle to land jobs or, in the case of immigrants, face deportation due to their past criminal records. Allowing the panel to give pardons will expunge the criminal records of former inmates who have been reformed and are ready to be productive members of society. Though the Governor still holds the power to elect the candidates on the panel, the bill would force the committee to look at each recommended individual and give a response in one year (or 90 days if they are at risk of deportation by ICE). Thus, with AB 2845, more pardon cases will be examined each year and individuals are guaranteed a review of their case within a year rather than having their case ignored. This will allow reformed former inmates to be able to obtain jobs instead of being limited by their criminal record and help to solve the crimmigration crisis. ICE has been targeting immigrants with criminal records and using their criminal past as justification for their deportation despite showing they are productive citizens of society. A portion of these immigrants were raised in America and would not be able to adjust to a new lifestyle overseas.

My name is Jeannetta Mitchell and I am petitioning for a pardon for a 20 year old felony. This felony has prohibited me from some employment opportunities, school and business ownership opportunities. This felony has affected my life and now I am trying to make positive changes to my life, there are road blocks preventing me from going further in pursuing life long goals and accomplishments.

This petition is about injustice and wrongful imprisonment of a family member..Lincoln Lamar Caldwell.And the family has been trying to get through to the Justice system whom gave an unfair trial whom sentenced my brother life with no parole but no success.He never murdered anybody or attempted and has been locked up for twelve years so far while the murderer gets twenty plus years..All we're asking for is a fair trial with a judge who has no personal venges

My fight for conjugal visits in the State of Virginia is inspired by the incarceration of my husband. We have a family and I believe quality time plays a vital role in keeping a healthy marriage and to the development of our children, not to mention it makes for a more calm inmate environment. Please join me in fighting for conjugal visits in the State of Virginia's Department of Corrections and all over the USA. Just because a person is behind bars does not mean they are guilty; some are but there are many who are not. Some have been forced into a guilty plea and others have just been unfortunate and could not afford the proper legal help to assist them when they have been wrongly accused and convicted. I'm fighting to be the voice for them and for the ones who have done their time and have changed for the better. They may not be able to come home, but at least they can be a part of their families' lives on a more intimate level. It is not too much to ask and there can be policies put in place to keep it a hassle-free service. Even if these conjugal visits are only approved on a case by case basis, for example: an inmate may have to reach certain criteria before being allowed to participate in a conjugal visit, or loved ones have to pay a certain dollar amount for these visits. In any case, I'm sure we are all willing to cooperate in order to spend 30 minutes or more with our loved one. We only get one life and the bond between family is extremely morally important and it is an injustice to keep families apart, especially married couples and innocent children. The jail and prison system is often referred to as a rehabilitation center, but there is nothing rehabilitating about keeping people behind bars whether they've changed, they've been on good behavior, or they're just simply innocent. They deserve to spend a portion of that time with their families even if it has to be under supervision. A room with a camera? So be it; we just ask for a quiet place where we can be alone together talking, sleeping, holding one another, being able to be intimate, or maybe a child getting help with homework, etc. These are all things that should be allowed for those who qualify. In conclusion, to whom it may concern, please approve Conjugal Visits In The State Of Virginia. I assure you a positive outcome across the board. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Tamara Smith Mchellon

Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Saccone was driving 86 mph at the time of the crash. 3 Young Adults lost their lives that night: Baylie C. Rose, 19 Michael S. Walker, 18 Samra Osmanovic, 20 Rose was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Impala south on Onondaga Road when she drove into the intersection of Onondaga Boulevard and Onondaga Road at about 3:40 a.m. Feb. 23, police said. Her vehicle was struck by a 2015 GMC Acadia operated by Saccone, police said. Rose and the two passengers, Walker and Osmanovic, were all pronounced deceased at the scene, police said. Saccone was seen fleeing the area and was apprehended by OCSD K9 unit at his mother's house right up the road where he was destroying evidence and hoped to evade capture because he was driving a rental car from a local dealership with dealer plates on it. Anthony Saccone 's family pleaded for donations via GoFundMe just 4 days after Saccone posted either a $250,000 bail or a $500,000 bond to secure his release from jail ahead of trial at his May court date. Since then Saccone has been seen at several local hot spots enjoying his freedom and his life while his victims are decomposing in the ground. That's not right... Pictures surfaced of him drinking and partying at several different locations thought CNY, which people who know Saccone are not surprised he shows no remorse and is living the same lifestyle he had before the crime. As of July 14th, Anthony Saccone is awaiting an October trial date and is free on $250K bail. This petition goes to all the Moms and Dads that had to bury their children due to Drunk/Ability-impaired drivers. Saccone lived here his whole life, his mother lives within walking distance of the scene. He deliberately drove 50+mph over the speed limit rushing to get home at 3:30 in the morning after receiving a call from his irate Baby Momma, probably about him being out drinking at 3:30 in the morning when he has his own kids at home. Defense lawyer William Sullivan argued that the murder charges should be dismissed as evidence shows that Saccone attempted to swerve around the time of impact, proving that he did not act with the depraved indifference required for murder. Of course he swerved; it's a natural instinct to avoid a collision and how do we know he swerved before the crash and he wasn't just reaching for his phone or too drunk to keep it straight between the lines. Saccone is facing up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted of murder let's sign this petition and get it in front of DA Fitzpatrick and Hon. Judge Doran. THANK YOU

WE AS A NATION, SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE THAT IS IN JAIL OR PRISON OR MAY HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND TOUCHED AND AFFECTED BY THE SYSTEM, VIOLENCE SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED, NOR INHUMANE TREATMENT AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE INTOLERABLE AS WELL. SEEMINGLY. AMERICANS CRY OUT FOR MISTREATMENT OF OTHERS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE PEOPLE AND CONDITIONS OF THE AMERICAN NATION; THESE PRISONERS ARE IN TROUBLE IN OUR NATION, WE SHOULD MUTE FEELINGS THAT THOSE IN TROUBLE REAP THE REWARDS FOR THEIR PUNISHMENT NO MATTER HOW WRONG OR UNJUSTLY THE CONSEQUENCES MAY BE, NO ONE DESIRES INHUMANE TREATMENT.

Racial disparities continues to be huge issue in our criminal justice system, including in the state of Connecticut. Despite the effort of policy changes such as, the racial impact statements, Connecticut has only managed to reduce incarceration but not the disproportionate incarceration rate between African-Americans and whites. As of 2014, 1392 out of 100,000 per capita incarcerated were African-Americans while only 193 out of 100,000 per capita were whites. These statistics are unacceptable. Over the past few years, the state of Connecticut has suffered from the major budget cuts that negatively impacted the funding of many social services programs. The lack of funding resulted in many programs providing limited to no services for the vulnerable population, particularly the African-American communities. Many of these social services provide treatments, such substance abuse programs, mental illness programs, and even regular public schools, all which have been proven to be beneficial in preventing incarceration and recidivism. Now that the state has a more expanded budget, I urge you all to sign this petition, as it is to support the state government to increase funding for these social services programs and to focus on the local areas that currently lack access to programs. By adding more social services progress, the state of Connecticut will be helping create a more level “playing field”. Increased funding is necessary to help the vulnerable populations, including the African-Americans. By granting increased funds to social service programs, access will increase to these social services resources and will greatly help reduce the disproportionate rate of incarceration in Connecticut by providing a source of intervention for minorities. It is evident that the state of Connecticut has been committed in reducing racial disparities in its criminal justice system. But, it must take another stride now that it has a budget that can support providing alternatives outlets to its vulnerable population. Social service programs can help prevent the problem of racial disparity by stopping the issue at the very beginning. Connecticut must take action now in order to remain a progressive state. I hope you all take this message for consideration and I thank you all for your time.

San Bernardino Deputy District Attorney Michael Selyem made despicable remarks about U.S. Representative Maxine Waters. Selyem said in a Facebook post that “being a loud-mouthed c*** in the ghetto you would think someone would have shot this b*tch by now.” Selyem also goes on to attack victims of police violence by saying, “the sh*tbag got exactly what he deserved.” This is unacceptable. Oftentimes, our folks are left in the dark about the powerful role prosecutors and District Attorneys play in the criminal justice system. It is not commonly known these people are elected officials with the power to decide the fate of our communities. Selyem’s clear hatred of Black people should disqualify him from his position. The role of a prosecuting attorney is to objectively uphold the law - not to incite violence against an elected official. He cannot be allowed to serve in this public role any longer. It is not possible for Selyem to do his job without bias while also harboring vile and hateful views of communities of color. Selyem must be fired immediately. District Attorney Mike Ramos has a duty to remove Selyem from office. Otherwise, failing to do so compromises the integrity of his office. Our tax dollars cannot be used to employ an unabashed racist! Selyem must go now! In a moment where Black women leaders like Maxine Waters are being attacked, we have to stand up and fight with them! We need more leaders who will not cower to spineless calls for civility in the face of growing hatred of women, people of color and immigrants. Demand DA Mike Ramos to do what is right. Fire Michael Selyem now!

In the words of San Diego County DA Summer Stephan: "The current language in AB 1810 allows mental health treatment pre-trial diversion for every type of crime including serial rape and murder. The bill allows no exclusion for the type of crime committed. No exclusion for prior criminal history an diversion instead of prosecution that would be available for those with almost every kind of mental health diagnosis. This means paraphilia, often diagnosed as the mental health issue for serial rapists and depression, often associated with mass school shooting murders are not excluded." Read paragraph 13 of AB 1810 yourself. What kind of CA will our children inherit from us? Summer Stephan went on to call AB 1810 a "Dangerous social experiment" and said that there are few serious felony offenses where the mental health of the defendant is not called into question. Please sign this petition demanding revisions to this dangerous bill!
