The Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) continues to make arbitrary and capricious parole release decisions, illegally, with our tax dollars and in our names, committing genocide against our community members.

The point of critical mass is evident when those being oppressed are willing to commit to their own deaths by resisting to stop the torture.

Those of us here at New Folsom State Prison are at odds with the overwhelming number of parole denials here, as well as overly negative board psych reports. The fact that less than 4 percent of prisoners here are paroled should speak volumes to the public as well as state legislatures who enacted SB 261 and like bills. Prisoners who have served over 25 years and have completed many rehab programs and self-help programs should be eligible for parole.
