The Issue

As a heartbroken mother, I am crushed watching my son suffering behind bars, taken away from his family for the past three years. My son is not just any young man; he's a fighter living with Sturge Weber syndrome, a rare disorder marked by mental hardships and seizures. These medical issues, unfortunately, have painted a misguided picture linking him with criminal charges. The harsh reality of the prison environment severely exacerbates his condition while significantly impacting his mental health.

According to The American Journal of Psychiatry, individuals with mental health conditions are four times likely to be arrested than individuals without such conditions, showcasing the vast misidentification in our justice system. The social conditions and services within prisons rarely accommodate individuals like my son. With his intense condition, its unfair to subject him to such devastating circumstances that can potentially cost him his life.

Hence, this plea is not just about setting him free. It's about bringing him home to the safe and loving environment he deserves to facilitate recovery and manage his Sturge Weber Syndrome. His immediate release on bail will allow us as a family to seek the appropriate help he needs chalking out a path towards rehabilitation and justice.

I appeal to the fairness and humanity of our justice system for his immediate release on bail so he can finally come home to his family. Join us in demanding justice for my son by signing this petition.
