My husband is incarcerated here in Texas and just from the little time he's been in (7 months) and who knows how much longer since you deal with the BPP which is inconsistent as well....I feel for all the families who deal with this system here in Texas or anywhere in the US for that matter. I will do my best to donate what I can to this cause even though my husband isn't innocent.....but he also doesn't deserve the sentence he received, instead should have been given rehab and community service. Sitting behind the prison walls helps no one...there isn't any rehab and then you put people in that are innocent and then what...they die before they are found innocent, they are away from their families and the families are put under a financial strain trying to help their loved one in prison whether they are innocent or guilty. Some of these people are put behind the prison walls for a long time and in a lot of cases too long for the "crime" they committed or didn't commit. I will pray they get the funding they need to keep fighting the fight for all those out there. God Bless us all.<br /><br />Westasy's LadyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-64103524429297436952009-04-20T23:19:00.000-05:002009-04-20T23:19:00.000-05:00I hope and pray this doesn't happen. My boyfriend ...I hope and pray this doesn't happen. My boyfriend is serving more then life sentence for something he didn't do. The Innocent project said they were sending him questionnaire as well as opening investigation into his case. He has never had hope before and they brought him hope that he can go home. I will keep them in my prayers he is innocent all the way.michael's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007124599212596555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-15779753490819071532009-04-20T11:10:00.000-05:002009-04-20T11:10:00.000-05:00Thanks Charlie, I appreciate that a lot.

I read Cory's article just last in the Star Telegram. (I'm visiting my mom in Fort Worth and my wife in Gatesville, I now live in PA). I made the decision last night to make a contribution to the Texas Innocence Project although I no longer reside here. My wife is a guest of TDCJ, she is not innocent and will tell you so. The Innocence Project can do you no good, but this state has just a horrible record of incarceration and justice denied that I felt compelled to help.Charlie Onoreply@blogger.com
