I would like to urge Texas legislators to support HB1274 and SB556 which relates to release on parole of certain inmates convicted of an offense committed when younger than 18 years of age, changing parole eligibility.
Why is this important?
The Supreme Court of the United States supports the idea that child status does matter. Children are different from adults and should not be treated the same as adults. Texas lawmakers should acknowledge that fact and offer a second chance to those convicted of an offense committed when younger than 18 years of age.
