From the Friends Committee on WA Public Policy Criminal Justice Working Group
Friends,
Our colleague, Tim Wettack, sent this petition for clemency for Aaron Borrero. In addition to Tim's personal description below of Aaron, there is more information about him on the link below. Although we may not know Aaron personally, he is an example of a number of guys in prison who have done their "correctional" work and need to go home.
Because Washington state does not have parole they are kept imprisoned with wasted lives and expensive incarceration. Unless the WA legislature enacts second chance legislation to recognize men like Aaron for turning their lives around, clemency is one of the
few if only ways out.
Please consider signing the petition for clemency included in the link below
From Tim Wettack:
Aaron has been in prison for 16 years; he has approximately 5 years left on his sentence. I've gotten to know Aaron at the CLO [Concerned Lifers Organization at Monroe]. He is a very good and solid guy (man). He recently got married (in prison, of course).
There is no question that Aaron "gets it". There is NO WAY that he is any threat to society or that he would recidivate. NO WAY. I would welcome Aaron to stay at our home at any time with no concerns whatsoever. The state does not need to expend $47K per year to continue to keep people like Aaron locked up.
Please consider logging onto the below link and endorsing Aaron's clemency petition.
Thank you. Tim Wettack
