Governor Jerry Brown -Lower the California 85% Mandatory Sentence to 65%

I am asking Governor Jerry Brown, not to send our young men out of state to serve their time in other prisons. I am asking Governor Jerry Brown to lower the California Prison mandatory minimum Sentence of 85% to 65%. To reduce the prison population and to reduce recidivism rates by keeping inmates closer to family and community structures that are most likely their support base once released.

Please stand beside me, as well as other parents, family members and friends. By signing this petition you and I stand together.

Why is this important?

I am affected by the situation of sending young men in California out of state to serve their time. I have a son who is incarcerated in Prison. He would be sent to another state where I would not be able to visit him.
