Georgia State Board of Pardons and Parole

What does the parole board do? Personally, I don't understand the parole board period in Georgia.

First of all, they are like jurors whom sit on a jury, who are ready to judge and make a hasty decision about the undeserving sometimes. There are seven and fourteen-year lifers that should have been out of prison. They have rehabilitation, but I don't know if it's fear or judging of the crime that was committed on the crime they are convicted. At first they were denying people eight years, six years, two and one year denial for parole. Some people have been denied so many times they have became ill in their bodies and mind. They did everything the parole board says, they always do it to manipulate the inmate.

These inmates have the disciplinary reports and have completed their case plan only to find out when you come to parole, you're denied. They play games with the inmate's minds. But we are taught in the system to come out of the stage of disloyalty. But yet still, the parole board can be deceitful. You tell your family they are coming home. But when you received the note from them, you are denied, that you haven't done enough time.

How do you figure when the person has changed? I don't understand that. It's like they are playing with people lives. It's legal in the state of Georgia.

Now the lifers who make parole, they make them wait 90 days before their release. Some has done 30 years plus. I mean, let the people go for heaven's sake. Some can barely walk. They are handicapped and very well disabled.

I can attest. My family had been calling the parole board constantly, my children said you will be home most definitely before Christmas. You will be coming home. My PED was August 1, 2017, December 14, 2018 letter date. It says, "the board has considered your case in accordance with board policy and denied parole." The main reason cited by the board? "After the review of the totality of your case, insufficient amount of time served to date, given the nature and circumstances of your offenses. You are encouraged to continue in your rehabilitative efforts so you will be properly prepared to succeed in the event a future consideration results in your transition back into society. Your statutory eligibility status remains intact and your case will be considered by the board during August 2021 in accordance with board rule 475-3-05."

Listen to me: families and inmates are having the same problems. The parole board lets out who they want to. Prime example of some gruesome cases, but the people is out of prison armsmith who cut her child up and fed him to her husband. Terese Whittington, who conspired with her boyfriend, killed her husband but they used lethal injection for Kelly Kissenger for the same thing. The list gets longer, but you want to keep me in prison for the simple finding of my child in the crib. Deceased, no evidence.

I am going to the library to look up 475-3-05 because I don't have no victims to say, "Hey, don't let her go." They will have to explain to me why they feel I haven't done enough time. You're not going to tell me anything, not in this season.

We need to make people accountable for his action and decision. We will discuss rule 415-3-05 later, okay?
