When It's On









I have heard about the prisons being over crowded due to crack, and now there is a crack law out to eliviate this problem. I have heard some things about a 65% law for federal prisoners that are doing time on drug charges, however it has not been passed. My question is, will this 65% law ever come to reality or will it remain just a fantasy? This affects my life because, I have been arrested under a federal indictment on a conspiracy charge for meth amphetamine. The charge carries a 10-life sentence. I am a good person and do not feel I should spend the rest of my life in a federal prison because I made a bad choice and got high on meth amphetamine for a while. Life is full of lessons learned as this world turns, I know there has got to be disipline when rules and laws are broken, but do I need to pay for my mistake for the rest of my life? I am turning 50 years old this year and am still sitting in a jail cell awaiting sentencing from a federal judge. I have been to 3 different holding facilitys in 10 months as they move federal prisoners around quite often. I am praying by the time sentencing comes the 65% law will be in affect so I can spend some time with my mother before her life is over. I have so much to make up for in life and am praying I will be given that chance. Thank you for hearing my question for president Obama. Bless you.
