To be delivered to The Texas State House, The Texas State Senate, Governor Rick Perry, The United States House of Representatives, the United States Senate, Texas State House, The United States House of Representatives and President Barack Obama
Petition Statement
I request that legislation be passed which would reduce the parole eligibility requirements of all offenders currently servicing under the ½ (50%) law from that of 50% minimum flat time before parole eligibility to that of serving ¼ (25%) before parole eligibility.
The legislation should be applied RETRO-ACTIVELY.
Petition Background
The state on a whole suffers when it insists on holding people down specifically, taxpayers, commerce and families are the ones adversely affected by housing offenders for excessive number of years.
To be delivered to The Texas State House, The Texas State Senate, Governor Rick Perry, The United States House of Representatives, the United States Senate, Texas State House, The United States House of Representatives and President Barack Obama
Petition Statement
Retroactive legislation should be passed which provides a MANDATORY SHORT-WAY for ALL FIRST TIME OFFENDERS with satisfactory disciplinary records, which reflect an effort at rehabilitation.
Identical retroactive legislation should be passed for all YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS (those between the ages of 13 to 25 at the time of the commission of their offenses).
Petition Background
Why? Because first-time offenders should not be held to the same stringent parole eligibility requirements as repeat and habitual offenders. Also, a lack of maturity and under developed sense of responsibility are found in youth more often than in adults and are more understandable among the young. These qualities often result in impetuous and ill-considered actions and decisions. Essentially, both categories of offenders (the first-timers and youthful) deserve less punishment.
