Michael Montalvo has served 37 years in U.S. federal jail for main a felony enterprise that offered tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars}’ price of cocaine in California and through that point he has earned a regulation diploma and helped different inmates receive their freedom by means of a program known as compassionate launch.
However because of a quirk within the regulation, the 78-year-old Vietnam Battle veteran is barred from searching 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 among greater than 7,000 federal inmates asking Biden to make use of this energy to launch them from jail earlier than the tip of his time period.
