A Second Chance for Andrew Glen Ware

Freedom. Family. A Second Chance.

Imagine spending more than a decade behind bars, working to change your life, furthering your education, helping others, and preparing to become a productive member of society.

This is the story of Andrew Glen Ware, a man whose family is asking the State of Florida to consider granting him a second chance through executive clemency.

Andrew is currently incarcerated at Everglades Correctional Institution, serving a 20-year sentence for drug-related offenses. He has served approximately 11 years.

We are not asking anyone to ignore his convictions. We are asking that his rehabilitation, accomplishments, and future be considered alongside his past.

Eleven Years of Growth and Responsibility

According to Andrew and his family, he has maintained a disciplinary record free of disciplinary reports throughout his incarceration.

While incarcerated at Tomoka Correctional Institution, Andrew was selected by correctional staff to serve as a dormitory facilitator for several years.

In this position, he helped encourage other incarcerated men to follow institutional rules, maintain peaceful relationships, and resolve disagreements.

Andrew also earned his diploma while incarcerated and completed additional educational and personal-development programs. His family is gathering documentation of these accomplishments.

These are meaningful steps toward rehabilitation and personal responsibility.

A Future Beyond Prison

Andrew has a family prepared to support him when he returns home.

His proposed reentry plan includes stable housing, family support, employment opportunities, and his goal of pursuing barbering and eventually becoming a business owner.

He wants an opportunity to demonstrate that the lessons he has learned can translate into a responsible and productive life outside prison.

Why This Petition Matters

Florida’s executive clemency process allows the Governor and the Board of Executive Clemency to consider whether a person’s sentence should be commuted.

We respectfully ask the Governor of Florida and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to give Andrew’s individual circumstances fair consideration.

We ask that they review his institutional conduct, educational achievements, years of leadership, rehabilitation efforts, and proposed reentry plan.

This petition does not request that Andrew be excused from accountability. It asks that his documented progress and potential for successful reentry be taken seriously.
