Petition for Justice: Immediate Release, Pardon, or Commutation for Charles Urban #66226060

To the Public, Members of Congress, the White House, and President of the United States:

We, the undersigned, call for the immediate release, pardon, or commutation of Charles Urban, Federal Register #66226060, a federal inmate currently held at F.C.I. Hazelton. Charles Urban is serving a sentence for a probation violation stemming from an attempted trespassing charge—a minor offense that does not warrant prolonged incarceration. With only nine months remaining on his sentence, Charles is eligible for placement in a halfway house under the Second Chance Act (SCA) and the First Step Act (FSA). Yet, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) continues to disregard these laws, violating his rights and the very intent of Congress.

Why This Matters:
The First Step Act (FSA) and the Second Chance Act (SCA) were championed as transformative legislation to improve justice outcomes, reduce recidivism, and reintegrate individuals back into society sooner. These laws were enacted with bipartisan support and signed into law by the President in 2018. Yet seven years later, the BOP has failed to adhere to the plain language of these acts, ignoring both their cost-cutting goals and humane intent.

Instead of allowing Charles Urban to transition into a halfway house where he can rebuild his life, the BOP insists on keeping him incarcerated at taxpayers’ expense. The refusal to implement these laws is not only fiscally irresponsible but also morally reprehensible.

A Broken Justice System:
Charles Urban's case is emblematic of a larger, systemic issue within our justice system. While individuals like Charles—who pose no threat to public safety—are kept behind bars, others who committed far graver offenses, such as those involved in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, have received leniency. This disparity in justice highlights the failures of our legal system to ensure fairness and equity.

By keeping Charles incarcerated, we perpetuate a cycle of unnecessary punishment, waste taxpayer dollars, and deny him the opportunity to contribute positively to his community and family. There can be no justice in America if we allow this injustice to persist.

What We Demand:

Immediate Release or Commutation: We urge President Donald Trump to grant an immediate pardon, commutation, or release for Charles Urban. His continued incarceration serves no public safety purpose and violates the intent of Congress.
Enforcement of the First Step Act and Second Chance Act: The BOP must be held accountable for implementing these laws as written, ensuring that individuals like Charles are given the opportunities they deserve.
Justice Reform: Congress must strengthen oversight of the BOP and ensure that legislative intent is followed, rather than ignored.
Join Us in Making a Change:
We call on every member of the public, media outlets, and influential leaders to amplify this issue. Let us send a message that we will not tolerate a broken justice system that prioritizes bureaucracy over human lives.

This is not just about Charles Urban; this is about justice, accountability, and the integrity of our nation’s legal system. Sign this petition and demand that our government act now.
