DARREN ROBINSON HAS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED HIMSELF. He was a lost kid when he went to prison at age 19, directionless and addicted to drugs and alcohol. 

Now 52, Darren, A CHRISTIAN, has spent YEARS IN COUNSELING, FOCUSING ON SELF-IMPROVEMENT and HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.  

He’s been a LONG-TIME, DEDICATED PARTICIPANT in Alcoholics Anonymous and a MODEL INMATE.

He has EARNED SIX DIFFERENT ASSOCIATES DEGREES and, recently his BACHELORS DEGREE, graduating at the TOP OF HIS CLASS - magna cum laude!

He’s been involved with PEER AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH for decades and TEACHES THE ILLITERATE TO READ.

He CO-FOUNDED A SERVICE ORGANIZATION that has RAISED MONEY FOR COUNTLESS GOOD CAUSES. 

He TRAINS AND MAKES SHELTER DOGS ADOPTABLE. 

He has ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY for his actions and done everything he can to repay his debt to society. 

Darren is a CHANGED MAN. He’s ready to be a PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY. He hopes to HELP OTHERS BEAT ADDICTION just as he has.

Darren has A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS, an offer of EMPLOYMENT, and a HOME to return to. He is not a man who belongs in prison. 

Please join his professors, and members of service agencies who know and have worked with him, and SIGN AND SHARE this petition asking that his sentence be commuted. 

Thank you!
