I made a mistake when I was 17 years old. I've been a Pennsylvania Lifer for 5 years now. I am still in the appeal process. The state of Pennsylvania will never forgive me. Pennsylvania does not parole any Lifer.
Commutation is non-existent in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania should recognize that some people for their crime should never see freedom again. But on the other hand, the state should recognize that deserving Lifers should have a second chance. Under current Pennsylvania parole laws, there is no way I can ever be free again. I was wrong. Pennsylvania law is wrong.
