It relies on the uninformed approval of trial officials who are generally more concerned about potential fallout than revising their predecessors decisions. No governor in the last two decades has shown a willingness to use their constitutional authority to reduce unnecessary incarceration via this process. It would be great to see the application based on what an individual has accomplished since entering prison combined with recommendations from prison staff.........those who actually know the individual.Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267236716106849385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-4495296192584917262019-11-11T04:29:59.059-06:002019-11-11T04:29:59.059-06:00#Prison Docs.

In my time on Coffield, we had physicians who were unlicensed, censured, fired for incompetence, and under criminal investigation for actions committed in the course of their practices. One of the doctors, whom no one was happy to see, was an infamous former medical examiner who was fired from El Paso, Ohio and several other jurisdictions for perjury in criminal cases to convict the innocent. I once asked him if he ever treated someone whom he had testified against and was immediately evicted from the office. Before he came to TDCJ, all his patients were dead.Steven Michael Seyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809935502307219692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-54618133543934998432019-11-10T11:58:05.217-06:002019-11-10T11:58:05.217-06:00Might add this to the links list.
