Getting answers from Alfonso Graham!

To whom it may concern,

I am a brother of inmate that is incarcerated in Prairie Du Chen. My brother was locked up for crimes he did commit. I am not writing this to plea his innocence or to say he didn't deserve to go to prison! This e-mail is to hopefully find out information on him getting paroled. Year after year we get are hopes up that he will be released and year after year we are disappointed. They sent my brother to prison to be rehabilitated, now that he has finished all of his programs and worked his way down to minimum, they still won't release him. Yet year after year he sits and watches sex offenders, rapists, murderers being released while he is sitting a fifteen year sentenced for a non-violent crime. My question is to the parole board that stated (by commissioner Wells) " I will release him in 6 months as long as he keeps doing what he is doing" Why would you over turn a call made by a commissioner when you had no recollection of what or who the person was? Why would you send people to check on my brothers parole house and then neglect to release him? Why would you lead him and his family on to believe year after year he is coming home? You stated to him several times "you haven't served efficient time for punishment" What is efficient time for punishment? That statement to me is... your rehabilitated but now we are going to punish you for this non-violent crime you committed! My brother was told last year (by parole board) that they would not parole him if he was in a maximum prison. This year he sits patiently in a minimum prison and they give no reason to why they won't release him. They did however manage to send people to look at the home he was paroling out too! They did manage to get everyone in his family excited about the up coming holidays. It has been at least 12 years since my family has had Thanksgiving or Christmas with my brother. I know he is the cause of why he wasn't there for the holidays, but you made us to believe by your actions that this year would be different! Yet another year he sits patiently! I wonder who he will see released this year? My family and I are furious that you can keep doing this to him and us year after year! My goal from here on out will go strictly to getting answers! I will write every news channel! Every newspaper! I will call every radio station until my brother, my family and I get the answers I think we deserve! You see in the news every other day on how prisons are so over crowded! Yet you release less and less prisoners every year! WHY? Cause they haven't served effiecient time for punishment!
