    I feel that this bill should pass do to harsh and humane cruelty of a life sentence for petty drug crimes, to lock a human being away for life. It is all politics where this injustice starts in the beginning.

    I am 31 yrs old. I was convicted over six yrs ago. I now have 2 kids to support and a whole new outlook on life. I am NOT the same person I was six yrs ago. I have not had as much as a speeding ticket in six years. Please help us first time offenders who made a stupid mistake. I paid my debt to society and made restitution. How long will I be made to relive this horrible mistake I made in my youth?

    First time non-violent offenders deserve an opportunity to make a life for themselves. Making it more difficult for these individuals to do so only further increases the chance they may commit a second crime - as they many lack other alternatives to provide a way of life themselves. Everyone makes mistakes and should be given the opportunity to redeem themselves for these mistakes. At the very least, they deserve the right to provide for themselves.
