This petition is for my cousin Joshua Cole.  He has been incarcerated for 22 years goin on 23 years now , out of a sentance of 30 years .  He was incarcerated for first degree murder in 2000. He was a 100% a different person back then . Surrounded by bad influence and drama. Got involved with wrong people n was done wrong n reacted.  Over the years he has changed. He has done a 180 of his personality and how he carries himself. We, his family n close friends are trying to get him home . He has a loving and supportive family n freind base but as time goes on we lose more and more of each. This is us trying to expand the reach. He is a hard working individual who made a mistake when he was 19. It had been a long and miserable time served. He has been an industry employee at the danville correction center in Illinois.  He used to install pools and do concrete as a career. He would like to go fishing again, and visit eith the family he has left alive . He also has little nieces and nephews now and grand nieces. Please help use get this out into the community and get him home! If possible this will help him get out n 2 years instead of 8! Thank you for your time !
