Along with the other like-minded inmates, your loved one needs to create an ‘Informational Pamphlet’ that outlines their unit's plight: • Who are we? • What is our purpose and intent? • What we are seeking through a change in the language of the law • What we are asking prosecutors and Judges to look at for fair relief • What we are asking the Parole Board to look at and how they could be educated on the new language to guide their decision-making process • Must show your rehabilitation from the beginning of incarceration to what you are today. All degrees and certificates you have received. • The package should include supporting documents from news articles, research studies, etc., that help to educate the reader. •Spend time in the law library working on Amicus Curiae briefs. The purpose of the amicus curiae is to influence the decision of the court. A so-called “friend of the court” will submit an amicus curiae brief that addresses aspects of the issue or case at hand and attempts to inform the court’s decision. Go to this link to get more information. The men can find many of these briefs in their law library or tablets. That could be packaged and sent to Federal and State legislatures. • The men in prison advocate in the prison system to create programs and workshop classes specifically for legislation at all levels. These approved classes on days and times give the men opportunities to come together to build strategies and find ways to engage more with community leaders and organizations who could start coming into those classes or workshops to talk, or even do programs. Which usually led to their direct involvement in supporting the advocacy for the cause. Work closely with all volunteers that come into the unit and leverage their support and network.
