These women have already served well over 10 years and many are first offenders or only had minor priors. We believe everyone on this list has suffered dearly for any law they may have broken and that keeping them in prison is tantamount to cruel and (should be) unusual punishment

This is NOT a blanket petition that requires an all or none approach to the aforementioned names, nor does it tie any one individual to another, nor should any one person on this list impact any decision to grant or not grant clemency to another individual listed.
