Juvenile Justice Advocate~Director Virginia Coalition for the Fair Sentencing of Youth. Working hard for the opportunity for a 2nd chance! The views are my own.
At 17 years old, Anthony Gomez was sentenced to juvenile life without parole. After 24 years, he is #1of1000 individuals sentenced to JLWOP who are now FREE! Anthony was the first granted parole in Virginia and worked relentlessly to free others. https://t.co/LW4Z6EmykE
Shameful politics & false narrative media scares were set in place to get this shady "budget" amendment passed.
Those who worked hard for years to EARN this opportunity shouldn't have it ripped away from them!
James Hensley is yet another person who EARNED time off of their sentence and was ready to go home only to be told he was no longer eligible due to the inhumane actions of our governor and legislators. We continue to fight for these men and women and their families suffering 1/4
@John39293359@SUBWAY Did you want a copy of the entire receipt? I have 3 kids all footloose, cookies and extra sandwich for fieldtrip my son took that Monday.
Let's not act like $50 in take out gets you a lot of food ๐
My Granny turns 100 today! Lets see how many birthday wishes she can get. She is truly amazing. Still going strong (& fiesty!) Imagine what she has endured over the last 100 yrs! She asked me to tag her favorite show @TODAYshow @HodaAndJenna
@Harding4VA@kennedybtd@VADOC This doesn't directly impact my #VACFSY members even though MANY are earning lower level security ratings-(my loved one has earned level 1 BUT he will never go below level 3 SOLELY BASED ON HIS SENTENCE NOT BASED ON HIM EARNING IT!) but I know this affects many so thank you!
