>>> I am asking for help with a letter writing campaign to get "James" support for the change in his sentence from juvenile life without the possibility of parole to life with the possibility of parole. The former in James's case was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court last month. I have been James's spiritual advisor for five years now.

>>> There's a very small website parolejames.com which gives his story, a couple of sample letters, and how to submit them by email or in writing. It was created by one of our students here at the Center

>>> Would you please have a looksee, and if you are comfortable, write a letter and get whatever family or friends or groups you know to do the same. The number of letters sent to the Governor and subsequently given to the parole board is a major determining factor in sentence reduction and the granting of parole.

>>> Here's the site.

>>> Please, take a minute to read James's story.
