		<description>I do agree about the promblems with our men and
women on probation and parole. many have tryed
to get off of parole.but they want them to pay money they do not have. so that means they have to stay with the system until they get a job to make the money to get off parole. no one will hire a person on parole. so what happens is the person gives up and who knowns what happens. the system is not helping these people. they continue to go around the prsion cycle. and no really cares. in michigan all the
men appear to be in jail or prsion.</description>

		<description>If it's getting easier to get out, why was my fience denied release from parole. He's has been trying really hard to do right by the state conditions, I'm am actually quite proud of him. Even his perole officer thinks he's doing good. He was told to keep his nose clean for 6 months, and he would be released. Now they have changed it to another 24 months. He hasn't been in any trouble in over 7 years. Since he's been with me he started to change to live a better life. He has actually been on perole since 1983. He just never tried to do right before. Now I worry he will go back to his old ways because the state that you are calling lenient, won't give him a chance. Now he figures why should he try to do right when it gets him nowhere. I am in texas and he was supposed to follow me down here when he was released. Now we are appart and he can't start a new life because of this. now I have to try to find a way to get back up there, try to find a job, and hope we can weather another 2 years of fighting through life. So I really fail to see any of that early release stuff happening. By the way, you can't get rid of the drugs, but I'd much rater 1.9 million dollars goes to jobs and rehabilitation of ex-cons than supporting dealers. By the way, if anyone reads this that can help, his name is James Zimmerman Ms. Washington is his parole officer through pontiac office.</description>
