#letmipeoplego
Sentenced to life in prison. I spent 6 straight years in solitary confinement. I survived. Now I thrive. People change.

[Nation Outside @NationOutside]

2nd wave? In the @MichiganDOC we haven’t seen the end of the first wave. 69 dead. Highest in the nation. No end in sight. There’s still time to act @GovWhitmer #LetMiPeopleGo

[Liberate Don't Incarcerate- Washtenaw County @DontIncarcerate]

Today's message comes from Krystle DuPree, who offers powerful words + thoughts grounded in her Muslim faith. It's a reminder to leaders like @GovWhitmer + @HeidiWashington that we must recognize the humanity and lives of our people inside. #LetMIPeopleGo #LiberationPrayer

[Rick Speck @RickCSpeck]

How many of these men I was incarcerated with won’t make it home because of the inaction of @GovWhitmer these are our future community leaders, entrepreneurs, engineers, chefs, #letMIpeoplego before it is to late!! No more deaths behind bars!!

[@MI-CEMI @mi_cemi]

#LetMiPeopleGo there is no room in our overcrowded prison system @MichiganDOC to cage people for simple violations or technicalities @GovWhitmer Release low risk offenders to avoid a HIGH risk #COVID19 outbreak in the prison petri dish @ChrisGautz @LtGovGilchrist @mieagen

[Liberate Don't Incarcerate- Washtenaw County @DontIncarcerate]

Behind every number is a face, a human being with a family, with loved ones, with friends, with communities who grapple with their gaping loss. 54 dead. How much more will you tolerate? @GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist must take action now to #LetMIPeopleGo #ClemencyNow #FreeThemAll

[Troy Rienstra @troyrienstra112]

#LetMipeoplego
@GovWhitmer #LetMiPeopleGo in order to #StoptheSpread we MUST Release individuals who are infirm, elderly & medically frail. @HeidiWashington please release people who are receiving care for cancer and other chronic conditions that require frequent off-site care.

[@MI-CEMI @mi_cemi]

@GovWhitmer @mieagen exercise your executive clemency powers and #letmipeoplego!

[Troy Rienstra @troyrienstra112]

#LetMipeoplego
Restore good time & disciplinary credits to those who've had YEARS of good behavior @MichiganDOC apply overdue earned credits to ALL prisoners, even those serving habitual sentences @HeidiWashington #LetMiPeopleGo @ChrisGautz @LtGovGilchrist

[Troy Rienstra @troyrienstra112]

#LetMipeoplego
@GovWhitmer Prison is not a place for #Covid19, fostering conditions for abuse & neglect In overcrowded prisons, conditions become unsafe, difficult for the people who are caged and the staff who are responsible to them.

[MI Criminal Justice @AFSCMICJProgram]

#LetMiPeopleGo #ClemencyNow The people dying inside are our elders. They need relief through the governor's executive order powers. She refuses to act, and we will not be silent.Every Tuesday from 1-3 Twitter Storm! @GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist

[Joshua B. Hoe @JoshuaBHoe]

Dear @GovWhitmer

Can you explain why you keep mentioning ONLY traditional parole when:

1. Most of the people at-risk of death (54 human beings so far have died) are not parole eligible now

2. Traditional parole is only ONE of the avenues available to you?

#LetMIPeopleGO

[🖤Comical Tee 🤘🏾 @_ThatGirlTeeTee]

@GovWhitmer #LetMiPeopleGo Use your powers to grant commutations please

[MI Criminal Justice @AFSCMICJProgram]

@GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist There are ways to tackle this pandemic in prisons differently. #LetMiPeopleGo Expand the parole board. Process commutations. #ClemencyNow
