MR. BENJAMIN LEVI LOTT JR (TDCJ# 01680393) IS A 32 YEAR OLD BLACK MALE WHO IS SERVING A 20 YR PRISON SENTENCE IN TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE FOR A MURDER .BENJAMIN WAS 17 AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME AND AT THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.THIS IS ALSO HIS FIRST OFFENSE AND FIRST TIME INCARCERATED.MR.LOTT NEVER SPOKE OF ANY NAMES AND THE FACTS IN HIS PAPERWORK REMAIN THE SAME THAT HIS FEMALE CO-DEFENDANT SET UP THE OFFENSE UNBEKNOWN TO HIS KNOWLEDGE .THIS SAME CO-DEFENDANT WITH A CRIMINAL HISTORY WAS GIVEN 10 YRS FOR AGGRAVATED ROBBERY AND NOT MURDER. BENJAMIN WAS COERCED INTO PLEADING GUILTY AND HAD TO SERVE AT LEAST 10 YEARS BEFORE EVEN BEING ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE. NOW AFTER SERVING ALMOST 15 YEARS FOR THIS CASE,MR.LOTT IS STILL BEING DENIED FOR THE THIRD TIME (2) TWO YR SET OFFS 2019 AND (1) ONE YR SET OFF 2023 FOR THE REASON : NATURE OF CRIME/THREAT TO SOCIETY. THE NATURE OF CRIME WILL NEVER CHANGE YEARS AND YEARS FROM NOW THE "NATURE" WILL STILL AND ALWAYS BE THE SAME .WITH THAT IN MIND MR.LOTT HAS WORKED TWICE AS HARD TO CHANGE THE ONE THING AND ONLY THING HE CAN CHANGE .....HIMSELF! WITH PRISON BEING A REHABILITATION CENTER HE HAS DONE EVRYTHING POSSIBLE TO BETTER HIMSELF .HE DOES NOT SUFFER FROM ANY MEDICAL NOR MENTAL CONDITIONS. FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS OF HIS INCARCERATION, MR.LOTT HAS BEEN AN OFFICER BARBER CUTTING THE OFFICERS HAIR AND WORKING IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE WARDEN SO HE IS VERY TRUSTED. MANY OFFICERS AND OFFICIALS HAS WRITTEN LETTERS FOR PAROLE ON HIS BEHALF. SINCE HIS INCARCERATION HIS EDUCATION CONSISTS OF AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE FROM ALVIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE BARBER, CERTIFICATE SOCIAL SKILLS ,ANGER MANAGEMENT COURSES, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN/COMPUTER DRAFTING, CERTIFICATION OSHA TRAINING DEANS LIST FROM ALVIN COLLEGE AND AT LEAST 20 OTHER CERTIFICATES INCLUDING FAITH BASED CLASSES. BENJAMIN WAS A PEER EDUCATOR FOR TDCJ FOR SEVERAL YEARS TEACHING INMATES THE SEVERITY OF AIDS/HIV, SAFETY AND PRISON REHABILITATION. BENJAMIN LOTT HAS RECENTLY PUBLISHED A BOOK THROUGH AMAZON CALLED "LOSE EVERYTHING AND FIND YOURSELF". HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF FOUNDING AND ESTABLISHING A 501C3 NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT WILL HELP AND BENEFIT SINGLE PARENT HOMES AND AT RISK YOUTH.THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER SINCE HIS INCARCERATION HAS TAUGHT HIM THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MALE FIGURE IN A CHILDS LIFE .HE HAS A CLEAR SET OF GOALS LINED UP TO BE SUCCESSFUL . INSTEAD THE VOTING SYSTEM HAS BEEN UNJUST, UNFAIR AND VERY BAIS ON WHOM GETS GRANTED AND WHOM GETS DENIED PAROLE. EACH TIME HE IS VOTED ON HIS CASE GOES BEFORE THE SAME VOTERS UNDER THE PALESTINE PAROLE REGION, WHOM ALL HAVE A VERY LOW APPROVAL RATE.

THE VOTES HAVE BEEN BASED SOLELY OFF RACE AND CRIME AND NOT THE REHABILITATION PROCESS. TRUE ENOUGH HIS CASE IS SERIOUS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SELF DEFENSE HE NEVER DISPUTED THAT BECAUSE HE OWNED UP TO HIS WRONG DOING .THROUGH STATISTICS IT SHOWS THAT OFFENDERS WITH SEX CRIMES (SEXUAL ASSAULTS, RAPES, ETC.) GETS RELEASED AT A HIGHER RATE THAN ANY OTHER CRIME AND ARE MORE AT RISK TO REPEAT. VICTIMS OF SEX CRIMES ALSO SUFFER MORE LONG TERM THAN VICTIMS OF ANY OTHER CRIMES. MR.LOTT HAS REACHED ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR PAOLE EACH TIME HE HAS BEEN ELIGIBLE BUT CONTINUES TO BE DENIED BASED OFF MISTAKES MAKE AS A CHILD. SO HOW CAN ONE GROW AND LEARN IF ONE IS BEING HELD BACK AND BEING PUNISHED. BENJAMIN HAS KIDS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT TRULY LOVES AND MISSES HIM. HELP ME GET BENJAMIN OUT. HE MISSED HIS KIDS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL EACH YEAR SINCE 1ST GRADE HE JUST WANT TO SEE HIS DAUGHETR GRADUATE NEXT YEAR. HELP ME SHOW THE PAROLE BOARD MR.LOTT IS NOT A THREAT TO SOCIETY AND INSTEAD SHOULD BE A TESTIMONY TO SOCIETY. SIGN THIS PETITION FOR HIS RELEASE AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE ANY EXTRA COMMENTS...RESPECTFULLY PLEASE! EVEN IF THIS DOESN'T HELP MR.LOTT HOPE MAYBE IT WILL HELP THE ONES AFTER HIM IN THE FUTURE IN THE SAME SITUATION. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
