Hi, my name is Brianna and I am 27 years old. My biological dad, Dionysus Soubasis, is currently serving 30 years without the possibility of parole for first degree drug trafficking. He has been in prison most of my life and has missed every major milestone that I have accomplished, with the biggest thing he's missed out on being getting to know his grandchildren, who are now 10 and 5. He has been incarcerated for over 16 years now. Since his incarceration he has grown immensely, not only receiving his graduates degree in Theology (he started it in 2013 and finished in 2015) but completing many courses and classes and achieving many goals. He also has accumulated over 4,137 hours at Missouri Vocational Enterprises in the Department of Corrections doing on the job training and woodworking. 

He was an offender and staff barber for over 6 years and received certificates in excellence of workmanship. He completed a 6 month addiction program with honors and received certificates for that as well. He was accepted into college at Ashland University and will soon start to work towards a degree in business management. He is also a member of the Restorative Justice Program as well and attended the Global Leadership Summit in 2017, 2018, and in 2019 was one of ten offenders to help facilitate that program to over 160 staff and offenders, leaving with over 60 hours of certificates in leadership training. He continues to try to better himself.

Dion was 28 years old when he went to prison and is now 45 years old. We are looking for people to support us in our quest for a clemency, a reduction in time for a non-violent crime. There are murderers, rapists and child molesters serving less time than some drug offenders. The justice system is flawed and needs to change. Please take a moment of your time and sign this petition to ask the President, the Missouri State Senate and Missouri Governor to grant my dad clemency. He's missed enough of my life, I hate seeing him miss out on watching his grandchildren grow as well. Thank you for your support.
