Dear PRESIDENT TRUMP,

I am writing to respectfully submit a plea for executive clemency or sentence reduction on behalf of Carl Maddox, a federal inmate currently incarcerated for a drug trafficking offense. After conducting a thorough review of his case and assertions, our legal team believes that Mr. Maddox was unlawfully convicted of a manager role in the offense and urges your compassionate consideration of this matter.

According to Mr. Maddox's account, he was wrongly accused and convicted of being a manager in the drug trafficking organization due to:

* Lack of direct evidence linking him to leadership roles or decision-making authority
* Co-defendants' testimony being coerced or incentivized by plea deals
* Prosecutorial misconduct and withholding of exculpatory evidence
* Ineffective assistance of counsel during trial

Our legal assessment suggests that Mr. Maddox's conviction and sentence violate fundamental principles of procedural and substantive due process of law. Specifically:

* His Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel was compromised
* His Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination was potentially violated through coercive witness testimony
* His Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment is implicated by the disproportionate sentence imposed

In light of these findings, we humbly request that your administration:

1. Grant executive clemency to Mr. Maddox, pardoning him of his conviction and releasing him from incarceration.
2. Alternatively, reduce his sentence to time served or impose a significantly reduced term, ensuring his punishment aligns with procedural and substantive due process principles.

Mr. Maddox has expressed remorse for any association with illicit activities and is committed to rehabilitation and reintegration into society upon release. We believe that clemency or sentence reduction would be a just and merciful remedy, allowing him to rebuild his life and contribute positively to his community.

We would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss Mr. Maddox's case further and provide additional evidence supporting his claims. Specifically:
The alleged misconduct by his former counsel in coercing him into signing the plea agreement.
The misapplication of the "manager role enhancement" penalty, which Mr. Maddox asserts was wrongly imposed due to his minimal instruction to "close my door."
Comparison cases, including that of "Big Meech," who reportedly received a similar enhancement yet still qualified for relief under the First Step Act (FSA).
Please consider Mr. Maddox's plea for executive clemency or sentence reduction. We believe his case warrants compassionate review and relief.

Sincerely,

[REFORMS MATTER INC: 85-1892949]

Prison conditions are the worst they have ever been. Lawmakers have the power to improve things, but lawmakers don’t know if they don’t go.

Today, invite your state and federal lawmakers to visit a prison.

Mass incarceration’s toll on human dignity is no more apparent than with the staggering proliferation of life sentences; today one in seven imprisoned people is serving a life sentence.

State prison systems, notorious for squeezing revenue out of prisoners, are bringing in money by fining people for breaking prison rules. NC prisons charge $10 for disciplinary infractions and collected >$300k in 2022. Several states have similar rules:

Youth of color are less likely to be diverted from juvenile court involvement than white youth. Diversion should be a central focus in efforts to reduce racial disparities and improve outcomes in our youth justice systems.

Half of people in prison have a substance use disorder, but only 10% get access to clinical treatment.

The rest? They're on their own.

Remember this the next time a politician tries to tell you that incarceration is the solution to addiction.

Thanks to my friends at @ARrow4Justice, I had the opportunity to visit a women’s prison in São Paulo, Brazil today. We had a chance to learn about their program that allows people to work in the community. But, meeting newborn babies in a prison setting is one of the most disturbing experiences. Can’t wait to write about this trip. 🇧🇷
