Stand with President Obama on Federal Prison Reform. Keep families intact. Stop the cycle of poverty, neglect, and institutionalism. Redirect 40 billion dollars, half the "Federal Prison budget" and use it to educate our youth and the at risk.
Why is this important?
My family has never been affected by the cruelty and inequality that has grown in the Federal Prison Sentencing. Finally, our day has come. I completely understand how the millions of families faced with the reality of having a loved one placed in incarceration destroys the morale and dignity of the family. 80 billion dollars a year goes to house federal penitentiaries. Most criminals are non-violent, first-time offenders who have been sentenced to extraordinary long-term incarceration that affects our youth more than any group. Let's use our tax paying money on schools and support for the "at risk" families instead of perpetuating the breakdown of the family. I didn't understand, but now I do. In a country, which favors the rich and guilty over the poor and innocent, we need to stand with President Obama on serious prison reform.
