My Friends mom wanted me to post please read and comment.
Measure 11 / kids in prison
It doesn't matter if you are a first time offender or not, you are sentenced the same as repeat offenders.
First time offenders, youth included, are often incarcerated with hardened, repeat offenders. They share the same cells. Some kids, as young as 16 years old, are being housed in prisons instead of juvenile facilities Mandatory minimum sentencing means you serve every hour of every day of your sentence no matter what. No good time, no boot camp, no early release.
As high as 67% under Measure 11 ARE FIRST TIME OFFENDERS and 35% are under 21.
As the mother of a very loving and caring son who would do anything to help out a friend and that is our problem because of this my son is charged with a serious crime. One in which anyone who knows Michael will tell you it is not true but God has a reason for this tragic to happen to us.
I never knew what Measure 11 was and now I am finding out more about it.
I believe I have to fight the wrong that’s happening to young people. To send young people to minimum 5 years & 7 months or longer to prison is WRONG. I believe that repeat offenders, harden criminals killers rapes must pay for what they have done. But 1st time offender’s kids who have never been in trouble, those that has been wrongfully accused should not go to prison. They should get help from their community, from good caring people that will help them get their lives on the right path. I’ve seen nothing good come out of sending them to prison, where they will be abused every night and day, for the rest of their term. They will not get the love, care and guidance they need in their young lives.
What do you think happens when a convict gets out of prison?
What usually happens to them?
Chances are they get arrested again and again because of what has happened to them in prison.
This is only the beginning to this stage there trying to pass a new law measure 94.
