Everybody deserves a second chance especially those who are in a negatibe environment like the D.O.C surrounded by people who really don't want to change. I believe Daniel earned his freedom in a MAJOR way. The D.O.C isn’t made for correction nor change but he CHANGED. May he be free to live and enjoy his life he suffered enough from a child and now prison.
Miguel supported: Clemency for Daniel Simms: End 19 Years of Injustice and Restore Hope for a Reformed Lifewe have got to take better care of the mental health of our loved ones in these facilities. They are human just as we are, they deserve better treatment.
Ciera supported: End the VADOC Good Old Boy Network!As a Virginian I am ashamed that our state treats humans in this inhumane manner. No one should be treated like the prisoners in Red Onion.
Pamela supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonAbuse of the imprisoned abuses us all. Humanity means solidarity & human rights for all.
Richard supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonEven the healthiest prisons can be torturous to inmates, but the conditions these inmates are forced to endure is horrendous. It’s so sad that multiple men would rather burn themselves alive. It doesn’t have to be this bad.
Shana supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonToo many of us consider the *horrors* we hear about prisons as a part of the punishment for crimes. As if the *sentencing* people are assigned by our justice system is meaningless. As if these unspecified and infinite tortures are required for real punishment.
Punishment beyond sentencing makes a mockery of our whole system.
And we all know it's happening.
We just figure it's wrapped into how the justice system works.
We're walking around believing that off-the-books-violence and torture are *normal* and *right.*
It's not right.
And it shouldn't be normal.
It shouldn't EVER happen, let alone be so normalized only a couple people I know will do more than shrug about this.
This has to change.
These are real people.
This is beyond unacceptable.
Crystal supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonBecause I was in prison b4. And I've seen alot n how staff treats imates. Once your in there hands. They love the control and the abuse. Mentally and physically. Please help these people. Just because there inside those gates and have to wear chains n shackles. There still humans. And staff should not get away with abusing anyone.
Kristy supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonRegardless of what was done, He should not have to pay the price for an unjust system that has plagued the black and brown communities across the country. I have had the opportunity to meet this man and you never saw him without seeing his family. The system has not only done an injustice to Him, they have made his 5 daughters pawns in their games because the suffer without him being present. Free Him
K. Emmanuel supported: John C Carney Jr: Justice for Dwayne white (aggravated sentencing)I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from Messiah during my own incarceration. I nelieve on a personal level that should he be set free Messiah can and will be a major asset in the community. He deserves a chance the man has earned it. Listen to us we lived around him talked with him learned from him , we are the ones who know him. Free him please !!!!!!
