May 7th, 2010 In: Latest News & Updates By: admin Comments 2

Norma is a 40-year-old survivor of domestic violence who was pregnant at the time that she killed her abusive boyfriend. In 1992, Norma was sentenced to 15-years-to-life in prison, and has now served 18 years at the California Institution for Women. Upon being imprisoned, Norma became a member of Convicted Women Against Abuse and has now been found suitable by the parole for release. Yet, the Governor has been reversing the parole board’s decisions in most cases thus, massive community support for Norma’s release is essential to securing her freedom!

Click here to send a letter to the Governor telling him that you support Norma’s release and that you trust the parole board to make the best determination about who is suitable for parole. She has never had the chance to pick her son up from school, bake him a birthday cake, teach him to fly a kite, read him a bedtime story or kiss him goodnight. Please help her come home!
