Day Three Of Christmas--Pray For Release of Deserving Prisoners

This is one of many photos I have of real people I've
had the privilege of learning more about through
correspondence with Virginia inmates.

An increasingly large number of Virginia inmates are eligible for geriatric parole, many of them with stellar records of behavior since being incarcerated for much of their adult lives. Some of these aging prisoners are blind, infirm and/or have multiple health problems.

Many others who are parole eligible continue to be denied release by our Virginia parole board on the basis of "the seriousness of their crimes," even though there is nothing they can do to change that. They can only demonstrate that they have turned their lives around in the most challenging possible kinds of environments, a crowded and stressful prison, and many of them have accomplished just that.

These have suffered far too long and deserve a second chance.

Join me in praying they will be granted that opportunity.
