It is rumored throughout some of the prison reform group movements, that I, George Martorano, may be the “LONGEST SERVING NON-VIOLENT 1st TIME OFFENDER IN THE WORLD”, with the charges and sentence I received. There may be others that have been caged longer, but I believe their crimes were far more serious.
Imagine, for I am the one the talk is about, and I find that insane-anyone else??
I have been caged for 26 years and this is is what I truely ponder daily… “I have been caged 26 years, I would take 26 HOURS of “normal life” away from the zookeepers-then they could return me here, place me against the taxpayers prison wall and shoot me down”
As I have stated in numerous writtings, Americans believe in their justice system-believe that all the mad animals are locked away-believe they are safe since the “bad guys” are locked up-believe that the prison systems rehab criminals before release. I am here to tell you NOT ALL of that is true. Most of the guys I have met along my journey are guys just like me AND YOU-people who got greedy or stupid and involved themselves with crime. I have agreed through the years that yes, I needed to be punished for mine-But, what happens when they throw you away with no hope? You go mad, locked in a cage-I have not, but do see the many that have. All I am really trying to say is, that, when you punish someone, do it right. I have been punished long enough for my crimes and have earned a “second chance”. When and how do I get it??
Right now the American economy is facing the worst of times-people get bills in their mail slots they are afraid to open-jobs are gone-stock markets are unsteady-banks are folding-things are tough-I know at times like this it’s hard to think about me and my plight, but I suffer daily in ways none of you could ever imagine-Please, I ask everyone that visits this blog and the WeBelieveGroup website, write, email or call the White House. Express your support for my release-26 years caged is enough, I DID NOT KILL ANYONE and have read recently how the guy up in Georgia that KILLED A JUDGE and 3 others got the same sentence as me-MAKE SENSE????
