Is anyone else following the status of the bill proposed in the House which would reinstate the possibility of parole for federal prisoners? I noticed last time I looked that all the co-sponsors of the proposal were liberal Democrats - not an auspicious lineup in the Congress we've 'enjoyed' over the last 6 years - and more recently I saw that Rep. Sensenbrenner, cretin from Wisconsin, said the bill would never get out of his committee as long as he had anything to say about it. Unfortunately he won his re-election last week, but perhaps with some organized prodding also from citizens this bill can get moving.

Parole used to be an option for federal prisoners until Congress abolished it in 1986. Various bills have been introduced at least since 2002, if not earlier.

The post from mohogonybroun was certainly good and well-intentioned, but calling Sensenbrenner's office (BTW it's Sensenbrenner, not Sesenbrenner), especially from out of state i.e. outside his constituency, is going to accomplish nothing. I did it anyway several weeks ago, but realized as soon as the person answering asked me where I was from that my opinion was going nowhere. Pressure needs to be applied where there's potential room to give.

This should've been in Prison Legal Issues, sorry!

Jeff

Moved...

I've looked for internet information about this issue in the past, but couldn't find 'new' information. If you find anything out, let us know....
