I'm asking if you could kindly print the following out, sign it, and
send it directly to the Governor of California. Myrtle Green was
charged with conspiracy because she refused to testify against a
known drug dealer. The reason she refused to testify against this
particular person was because he threatened to harm her family, if
she did. Devil you do, devil you don't. She's now 76, and
needs to get home as soon as possible. This lady (which she is)
needs your help. Thanks, if you find the time to do this for her.

Petition To:-

Board of Parole Hearings Governor Arnold Schwartznegger
Chairman, James Davis Office of Legal Affairs
PO Box 4036 State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95812-4036 Sacramento, CA 95814

For Release Of:-

Myrtle E Green W 32887 Ca. Institution for Women, Corona, Ca 92880-
9508

Ms Green, now aged 76, was found to be suitable for parole on
December 28, 2005 with a parole date June 8, 2010. She has now
served 18 years in a case of Conspiracy, where no harm came to anyone
nor was there any attempt made on anyone's life. Both the Parole
Commissioners and the District Attorney agreed she would be no threat
to the public safety. This begs the question, "why should she serve
27 years for murder when there was neither murder nor any attempt?"

Ms Green suffers from multiple disabilities, including cardiovascular
disease, diabetes and hypertension, causing the 2nd stroke on 1/5/07
leaving her blind in one eye. She also suffers from deafness.

In these days of severe prison overcrowding, would it not make better
sense to free the California Taxpayers from the cost of her
incarceration and medical care? The odds are against her living
until 2010.

Would you please consider an earlier release for her?

Life of a 75 Year Old
'There is not much to say about my life except I had it all. Now,
suffice to say, it's better to have had and lost, than never had at
all. In my free state I was a law school graduate, owned for 35 years
my own tax, accounting investment and real estate brokerage firms.
All the while my partner raised and I raised 2 children. She stays in
touch and supports me financially even though I have not spoken to
her in 17 years. My daughter lives in Mississippi with my
granddaughter who will turn 18 this month. She graduates this year,
plans to attend university.

I have written my autobiography and am looking for a publisher. The
title I have in mind is "From Cottonseed to Coca Leaf and All the
Points Between".

Myrtle Green is very active in many groups in prison: Long Timers,
Convicted Women Against Abuse, African American Women's Prisoner
Association and Yes, I Can! an inmate tutorial group and others. Her
address is Myrtle Green #32887, CIW/ MA31L, 16756 Chino-Corona Rd.
Corona CA 92880, USA.
