A WORK IN PROGRESS- all ideas welcome
With excitement of a new governor and the possibility of real justice, FFUP received many release requests from old law prisoners long overdue for release and needed back in their communities. Below are links to some old blogs featuring parole eligible prisoners and new attempts at trying to post newly arrived case summaries in a way that is relevant and will be read. We are trying to organize these effectively in order to give these too long incarcerated people an effective voice. All help and suggestions welcome. Contact FFUP at pgswan3@aol.com

the number of the individual requester will be on upper
left of each request .

a way that allows you to see the patterns of incarceration. Here are examples
of the beginnings of the organization effort:

now to cases:
ALL OLD Law prisoner below have these things in common.
1) ALL are eligible for release.
2) have these two phrases given for why they are not out:
a)You have not served enough time for punishment
b) Release at this time would be too great a risk to the public
3) they were all imprisoned 2000 or earlier and have been in prison at least 18 years.
4)They are all over 30 and are statistically less likely to committee crime than their younger counterparts
5) They were all eligible for parole after serving 25 % of their sentence, a person with a life sentence being eligible after 12 1/2 years.
6) they spent many years in prison before TIS came in and took advantage of many programs including getting college degrees while in prions- all cut when TIS arrived and the prison boom happened.
