My father, Antonio Bascaró has been in prison for over 35 years for a non-violent, marijuana-only first offense for helping supply a product that’s legal in a growing number of states. He is the longest serving marijuana prisoner in the history of the United States. Today he is 80 years old. I lost him to the legal system when I was 12 years old.
His behavior while in prison has been so exemplary that he has earned a reduction of over 20 years from his original sentence.
My father has paid with his life for that one marijuana offense. I think that the time he has served is more than enough punishment.
He deserves to live the rest of his life with his family. He is not a threat to society and he has family and friends ready to help him re-enter it.
Please free my father.
