I have been addicted to PCP and alcohol since I was 12 years old. I have never been arrested sober! I am not a violent criminal. I have a substance abuse problem and need help--not 25 years to life for burglary of an unoccupied hotel room. I am married and have four stepsons who need to grow up with a father’s support. I was active in the Boy’s and Girl’s Club and even distributed free lunches for them while working my regular job as a fast food manager until I received this unjust sentence rather than the rehabilitation I needed!
