Michael Montalvo has served 37 years in U.S. federal jail for main a prison enterprise that bought tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars}’ value of cocaine in California and through that point he has earned a legislation diploma and helped different inmates get hold of their freedom by way of a program known as compassionate launch.
But as a consequence of a quirk within the legislation, the 78-year-old Vietnam War veteran is barred from looking for compassionate launch himself. He has two choices to get out of jail: demise or persuading President Joe Biden to grant him clemency.
Montalvo is one in every of greater than 7,000 federal inmates asking Biden to make use of this energy to launch them from jail earlier than the top of his time period.
