When I became aware of SB9 and the reasonable, moderate response it offered to convicted youth who had been sentenced to life without the chance of parole, I had no choice but to take a stand. If Governor Jerry Brown signs SB9 into law, there will be a chance for progress, a chance for hope. If SB9 becomes a law, those individuals who were sentenced to live the remainder of their lives in prison will have the chance, albeit a small one, to truly show that they have been reformed and can once again contribute to society.

Hard to understand that California which has overall really liberal values, has some of the harshest imprisonment sentencing and policies, such as 3 Strikes and life for minors who have only tangential involvement in a crime. I hope that someday there'll also be a bill readdressing 3 Strikes, especially for nonviolent or drug/alcohol related offenses or other misdemeanors.

thank for your articulate comment

NO. The victims did not get paroled. Their murderers were their judge, juror, and executor. I have written to urge Jerry Brown to NOT sign this bill. NEVER forget the victims! Never forget the pain their families go through every day.

This is important, please let Gov. Brown know how important.
