Free Gary Yarbrough.

The Issue

Gary Yarbrough has been in prison for 30 years, and even though he commited crimes none of them involved harming other human lives.  In 2009, he was given a parole date of 2014. Then in 2010, that parole date was vacated on the grounds of "association." This association was cited on posts made on public forums (Stormfront noted in the Notice of Action). At the time of this Notice of Action, Gary Yarbrough was in Florence ADX, which is a SuperMax without any internet access. This Notice of Action was based on posts made by people that Gary Yarbrough did not know, and he couldn't even view these posts. It is unconstitutional to hold somebody accountable for somebody else's views and postings. You cannot hold a person in prison or change their parole date without Due Process or based on something that somebody else wrote. Gary Yarbrough has not had one write up in 8 years. He was 28-years-old when he went to prison, and he is now 59-years-old and in ill health. He never did an act of violence towards any single person. I have known violent offenders to do less time than he has. Additionally, it is illegal to violate his consititutional rights, even though he is a prisoner. It is time to let Gary Yarbrough come home.
