Travis Wayne Washington5 days agoI'm signing this petition because I know Michael Gaddy personally. In fact, I've known Michael for over 40 years, and as a person, as a man, Mr. Gaddy has grown tremendously in accountability, in responsibility, in self-awareness, and especially in healthy close relationships. I was once in Mr. Gaddy's shoes, and like Mr. Gaddy I only sought the opportunity to prove my worth back in society as a man reconciled with his past, focusing on nothing but a positive future. Mr. Gaddy has paid his debt to society, it is now time to allow Mr. Gaddy to honestly become a part of the society he was indebted too. Lastly, Michael Gaddy, has the necessary and meaningful support needed to not sustain him in society but the support to catapult him beyond expectations of newly released inmates. The same support that awaited me in society 7 years ago, after serving a life sentence, is the same support awaiting Mr. Gaddy. Failure is not an option, but his success in society is guaranteed. Thank you.

Michael Gaddy has the support of his community and deserves to be free. His family and friends love him beyond measure. I reposted this comment because it shows how valuable his return to our community is. 
Sincere words from a long time friend.
