TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TO EMPHASIZE POINTS TO CONSIDER, AND EVEN SOME POINTS THAT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BUT TO ASK THAT THEY BE RECONSIDERED AS WELL. THESE POINTS ARE: I HAVE COMPLETED AODA 1, CGIP PHASE 1&2 AND PARTICIPATED IN SEVERAL OTHER SELF-HELP PROGRAMS. I ALSO COMPLETED MY HSED AND A VOCATIONAL COURSE IN WELDING. I HAVE MADE CHANGES WITHIN MYSELF DURING MY INCARCERATION AND SIMPLY PUT, I HAVE SERVED 16 YEARS BEHIND BARS ON A 55 YEAR SENTENCE. ON 2-4-05, I SAW THE PAROLE BOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME AND RECEIVED A 36 MONTH DEFER. ON 3-29-05 MR.WELLS REVIEWED MY FILES AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATION, AND AMEND IT TO A I8 MONTH DEFER. IN DECEMBER OF 05, I SAW PRC AT REDGRANITE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION AND REQUESTED TO BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER MEDIUM FACILITY IN ORDER TO FINISH THE LAST OF MY PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY AODA 5 TO COMPLETE, THIS INSTITUTION DOES'NT OFFER ANY AODA CLASSES. PRC IS AWARE OF THIS, YET I WAS DENIED A TRANSFER AND TOLD THAT I'M NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT GROUP UNTIL I AM 5 YEARS AWAY FROM MY M.R. WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY 2030. I FEEL DOC AND RGCI IS DANGLING THE LAST OF MY REQUIREMENT IN FRONT OF ME, AND USING IT TO PROLONG MY PRISON STAY AND AS A WAY TO HOLD ME BACK FROM ANY PAROLE CONSIDERATION FOR RELEASE. I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM BECAUSE I REALIZE THE VALUE, BUT WHEN I BECAME PAROLE ELIGIBLE, DOC SHOULD MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO AFFORD ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE ALL REQUIRED PROGRAMS. DURING MY SECOND HEARING WITH MS.HACKBARTH, WHICH IS COINCIDENTLY THE SAME PERSON WHO HELD MY FIRST HEARING. SHE NOTICED THAT MR.WELLS, "WHO AT THIS TIME HAS RESIGNED", AMENDED HER PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATION OF 36 MONTHS DEFER TO 18 MONTHS. AFTER EXPRESSING HER FEELINGS AND DISAPPROVAL FOR ME AND MR.WELLS ACTIONS OF REDUCING MY DEFER WAS NOT JUSTIFIED IN HER OPINION, AND AT THIS POINT SHE SAID SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO GIVE ME A 24 MONTH DEFER. I ASKED WHY WAS SHE GIVING ME A 24 MONTH DEFER AFTER COMING OFF OF A PREVIOUS 18 MONTH DEFER, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A POSITIVE INSTITUTION ADJUSTMENT AND HAVE BEEN INCIDENT FREE FOR YEARS. MY PROGRAMS PARTICIPATION HAS REMAINED SUFFICIENT AND I HAVE SERVED 16 YEARS OF MY SENTENCE. HER REASON WAS MR. WELLS ASSESMENT OF MY DEFERENCE WASN'T JUSTIFIED AND THAT I HAVEN'T SERVED A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME YET, BUT TO MY UNDERSTANDING, FROM THE DAY YOUR ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE, YOU HAVE DOME ENOUGH TIME TO BE RELEASED.
