IT'S 2010, LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN

Around this time last year George Martorano received the bad news that his "commutation of sentence" petition was denied by the outgoing President Bush.
Let's get the pens out and write the White House urging President Obama to release George with "TIME SERVED" 27 years is MORE than enough!! I am told "faxes" are the best way to communicate with the President, let's flood the machine at the White House and get George some relief 202-456-2461. A copy of my latest letter is on the "news and links" page. You may also use this in your questioning of why George is not being concidered for release...

e.  Parole eligibility under 18 USC § 4206(d).  This subsection 

states that, 

"(d) Any prisoner, serving a sentence of five years or 

longer [emphasis added], who is not earlier released under 

this section or any other applicable provision of law, shall 

be released on parole after having served two-thirds of each 

consecutive term or terms, or after serving thirty years of 

each consecutive term or terms of more than forty-five years 

including any life term, whichever is earlier:  Provided, 

however, That the Parole Commission shall not release such 

prisoner if it determines that he has seriously or 

frequently violated institution rules and regulations or 

that there is a reasonable probability that he will commit any Federal, State or local crime."

This is a website designed to bring exposure, hope, and relief to federal inmate GEORGE MARTORANO. George has spent 27 years of his LIFE NO PAROLE sentence in federal prison for NON-VIOLENT drug crimes. George is ONE of the LONGEST SERVING NON-VIOLENT 1st TIME OFFENDERS in the WORLD to date. George, despite his sentence, has mantained hope that he will someday receive the "SECOND CHANCE" he has earned, and so deserves. While we advocate for George Martorano's freedom, we also speak for the thousands and thousands of others within the walls that have also received harsh unjust sentences. Change is needed. Sentencing has FILLED our prison system beyond capacity. While the crime rate has actually fallin, the incarceration rate keeps soaring-why?? because of Sentencing

Before you exit this site thinking it has nothing to do with YOU, think about this, if you are paying federal taxes, a portion of that tax money goes towards the warehousing of over 180,000 federal inmates ($20,000 to $80,000 per year, per inmate)- While we will agree that some criminals do belong there, there are many many others like GEORGE MARTORANO, who are ready to come home and should, but they are stuck in these over CROWDED prisons with draconian sentences, using up those taxdollars. Taxdollars that should be going to education, seniors, healthcare, veterans, ETC ETC ETC-- so think about it, IT DOES AFFECT YOU The truth about George Martorano is that Federal Agents posed as his wholesale dealers and orchestrated a sting operation that took George from a "nickel & dime" pot dealer to what they called a "kingpin". The life sentence was meant to scare him into informing the Feds about his father, alleged mobster Raymond "LongJohn" Martorano. Unable to tell the Feds anything they already did'nt know, George was put into solitary confinement for four and one half years and was subjected to cruel punishments. They gave him notorious murderers for cellmates. For a crime that others serve a maximum of twenty years for, George got life no parole. Even the man who shot President Regan, and Noriega, one of the most infamous drug traffickers of all time, were granted the possibility of parole.  George has written over twenty novels and screenplays that depict life behind bars as well as how he grew up. He teaches Creative Writing and Yoga classes, and even counsels suicidal inmates. If prison is meant to rehabilitate, then George is the prime example and he undoubtedly deserves a modification of sentence. Besides his books, George's only tool left is this web site, and We The People. Help us bring George home by reading his stories, writing President OBAMA, and signing our petition. Every word of encouragement is printed out, mailed to George, and will accompany him on his quest for justice. THANK YOU and enjoy our site!!!
