Another Year Closer

My friend and brother Stephen informed me that the Board of Prison Terms denied him one year at his recent parole hearing. He's happy about the outcome.

He attributed this one-year denial instead of a multiple-year denial to the quality and quantity of support letters he had received from the community.

For many life prisoners who have been imprisoned for 25 years or more, it's difficult to maintain or receive support from the community. They have to somehow reach out to places or to people who will give them a chance to survive in the free world.

A little support goes a long way for someone who is fighting for his life.
