Free my father jerry jones

I miss my dad so much

Why is this important?

Fourteen years ago, my dad, Jerry kent Jones, was arrested on a Agervaited Robbery case because he was on drugs really bad. I really didnt know much about him. I was barley being born when he seen me. He was at the hospital and seen me be born, but he had to go because he was wanted and he was running from the police:/ The drugs took my dad from me my mom and my sister's. He had a history, but today, he is serving a life sentence without parole because he chose drugs , alcohol etc. My dad wasnt a bad guy. He just messed up..... like everyone does! People make mistakes and they learn from them! My dad has been in there 14yrs now and i think that is enough. He has missed my whole childhood and wasnt there for any events that included a father at school. He cant be here for when i graduate or when i get married etc.... It was hard for my mom because she had all five children to raise on her own. He was with my mom for a while. My mom Melissa Cheek and my grandma Sonia Cardenas would tell me stories about him. My dad would fix my older sister's hair in the morning for school and it would look pretty crazy. He would take care of my sisters and i know he loves us because he writes us letters. My dad Jerry kent Jones wasnt the best dad in the world but he was there for me and my sisters at some point. Its crazy how someone can kill somebody and get out 5 yrs later but my dad is in there for life. I don't see how his incarceration is serving any good purpose for our society. If President Obama does not commute my father's sentence, he will likely die in prison, especially since he has diabetes and has had medical complications and requirements that are not being properly met. i miss my dad with all my heart and soul!!! Please sign my petition so I can be with my father. We want to make up for the time we have missed out on. You will end so much suffering if this petition succeeds in bringing him home to me.
