It Is
A Fact
One out of every 75 American males
(men & boys) is in prison. The
number has increased by 3% since last
year.
/blog.htm
There are 3,033,321 prisoners today
in the United States, This does not
account for the millions who have served
terms but now retain the title of “felon”
and are to some degree under supervision
of the prison system. The number jumps
to nearly 7 million when you count
all those on probation.
This is a tremendous financial drain
on our economy with a cost over $90,999,630,000
per year! And, this is only an estimate!
It seems that everything we want to
do now is either illegal, immoral or
fattening, Aa the story goes.
There must be some truth to it. Currently
one of every 142 U.S. residents is
locked away… nearly an 8-fold increase
in just a couple of years. Our nation
has a larger prisoner population than
Russia. With 5 percent of the world’s
population, we have 25 percent of the
prisoners! When you consider the number
of people on probation or parole, one
in every 32 people in the country is
involved.
Something is wrong. Our tendency to
lock more people away as a viable solution
to our problems should not be shrugged
off. The present system is NOT working.

PAROLE NOW
OUR MAJOR OBJECTIVE IS TO HAVE THE FEDERAL PAROLE PROCEDURE RE-INSTATED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SENTENCING MECHANISM
 .org
Without Equity there can be no Justice
We are pressing to gain approval of a bill now that will change things a little.
We urge you to read up on this issue and let your Congressional Representatives know how you feel. Find your Representative Here.
If your really care, you must go here and learn the
facts!
READ ON
It is not reasonable and is certainly expensive not to have a system in place to allow offenders to shorten their time behind the fence, so to speak, by participating in programs for rehabilitation and re-education, by conducting themselves in an orderly, organized and personal manner as to warrant early release. At present, no matter what an inmate does to improve himself or herself, no matter how many courses he or she completes in educational institutions, or how many hours he or she spends in the programs devised by the BOP, they serve the full time, less the 15% "good time" and nothing else.
The Federal Parole issuecan be tracked on the Departmen of Justice website: http://www.usdoj.gov/uspc/history.htm
The history of Federal Parole can be found on the Department of Justice website: http://www.usdoj.gov/uspc/history.htm
There is a bill in the House (H.R. 072) that would amend federal parole. For information on the bill status go to:
http://thomas.loc.gov/
PENDING LEGISLATION
Here is a summary of the bill:
Amends the federal criminal code to reestablish the United States Parole Commission as an independent agency in the Department of Justice. Sets forth the Commission's powers, including the powers to grant or deny an application or recommendation to parole, and to modify or revoke an order paroling, an eligible prisoner.
Makes a prisoner serving a definite term or terms of more than one year eligible for release on parole after serving one-third of such terms, or after serving ten years of a sentence of over 25 years (or life). Subjects a prisoner convicted under District of Columbia (DC) law to the guidelines used by the former DC parole board.
Grants courts the authority to: (1) designate a minimum term at the expiration of which the prisoner shall become eligible for parole, which may be less than, but not more than, 10 years; or (2) fix the maximum sentence to be served.
Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) parole determination criteria; (2) conditions of parole; (3) jurisdiction of the Commission; (4) early termination of parole; (5) aliens subject to deportation after parole; (6) summonses to appear and warrants for retaking parolees; (7) revocation of parole for violators; (8) appeals of disputes over the time of eligibility for release, parole denials, conditions, and revocations; (9) good time credits; and (10) compassionate release requirements.
Grants the Commission jurisdiction over the parole of persons whose parole was governed by the Parole Commission Phase-Out Act of 1996 or by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.

We believe that the Mandatory Sentencing
practice of the Federal Judicial System
is wrong. We believe that the unforgiving
practice of not allowing for Parole
is wrong. We believe that warehousing
of inmates with minimal facilities
for retraining, rehabilitation, education
is wrong. We what to make a difference.
We want to educate policy makers to
the benefits of change and the evil
of the current practices.
We strongly fear that the current
policies of the Criminal Justice system
speaks to the deterioration of our
American Way of life, absent the fundamental
Judeo-Christian ethos of forgiveness.
We work to prevent the continuing moral
and ethical decline of our system.
We want to make the World a better
place. We what to minimize crime through
education and strengthening of our
religious underpinning. We want to
assure the children of incarcerated
parents that they do not have to suffer
the separation and accompanying deprivation
of having a parent in prison alone.
We want to our system to show a human
side driven by concern for our fellow
citizens, the offended, the offenders,
the tax payer.
We want to increase the quality of
life of all our neighbors with higher
standards of conduct toward the incarcerated,
laws that are administered fairly and
evenly with total impartiality. We
want everyone to live in a community
free of crime and feel that through
education, medical treatment and work
we can realize these ends.
