Even if you called or emailed before, please do it again. Here's why:</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:black;">We have been very disheartened to hear from state legislators who have contacted the Governor's or Secretary Carr's office. It seems they are being told that quick "compassionate release" is impossible because it requires the sign-off of the sentencing judge. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color:black;">It is time to stop passing the buck</span></b><span style="color:black;">. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:black;">The DOC could reach out to judges to ask for their quick compliance. If that takes too long, the Governor has very broad powers to commute sentences. <b>Governor Evers has it in his power to move many of the elderly and sick people out of our prisons before the pandemic reaches its full force</b>. <i>Tell your legislators not to accept the excuse that it can't be done.</i></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:black;">Legislators have also reported being told that the matter of people in prison for crimeless revocations is “under review” by the DOC. That review has been underway for more than 15 months! This is not the time for more and more review. People in jail or prison because of technical violations of Supervision, Parole or Probation are there because of an administrative decision by the Department of Corrections. The same Department, which reports to the Governor, can make a decision to release them. <b>Governor Evers has it in his power to release people who are incarcerated because of revocations.</b></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:black;">Please contact your legislators. If you would like, you can forward this email to them and ask them to contact the Governor. Or call the Governor's office directly at 608-266-1212. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color:black;">Tell them to refuse to accept excuses for the Governor not to act to quickly reduce the crowding in our prisons. <b>He can. And he needs to know that we know that.</b></span></span></span></p>
