Wyoming’s criminal justice system is failing its people — especially those struggling with addiction. Instead of offering treatment, support, or recovery options, the state continues to criminalize addiction, treating nonviolent drug users as felons while real violent criminals walk free. We are calling on Wyoming lawmakers and justice officials to take immediate action to modernize drug laws and stop punishing people for needing help. Addiction is not a crime. It is a medical condition, and should be treated as such. The current system disproportionately harms low-income individuals, women, and young people — branding them with lifelong felonies for personal drug use or possession, blocking their access to jobs, housing, and healing. We demand the following reforms: 1. Decriminalize nonviolent drug possession and use, especially for first-time offenses. 2. Redirect funding from incarceration to treatment and recovery programs that address the root causes of addiction. 3. Stop labeling all addicts as felons — create alternative court programs and treatment tracks that offer rehabilitation instead of jail time. 4. Expunge past low-level drug convictions to allow those with records to rebuild their lives. 5. Hold law enforcement accountable for targeting addicts while ignoring violent crime and systemic issues. We’re not asking for leniency for dangerous criminals — we’re demanding compassion and common sense for people who are suffering. If someone is not violent, dangerous, or harming others, they should not be imprisoned for their addiction. Our laws must reflect the truth: healing is more effective than punishment. Let Wyoming lead with progress, not outdated fear and stigma. Sign and share this petition if you believe that addiction deserves treatment — not a prison sentence. ⸻ Signed, Cierra Leibee & Supporters of Compassionate Justice Reform in Wyoming
