Parole Elder Abuse Concerns Everyone (P.E.A.C.E.) is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to addressing the economic and moral injustices of incarcerating elderly individuals who pose no threat to public safety.
Its mission is to liberate elders by reporting Parole Elder Abuse to diverse sectors of society that have professional and ethical reporting responsibilities. There is compelling data that elderly prisoners age out of crime and pose a substantial financial burden on taxpayers for inadequate care in prisons. They can be compassionately cared for in their communities at a much lower cost. Their stories of resilient love lift the voices of the primary actors- prisoners, families, and communities- through their creative expression while supported by the language of data, policy papers, legal briefs, position papers, and other professional literature.
Freedom is the Only Treatment.
Mission Neighborhood Health Center
As a trauma-informed physician with 30 years of experience, I have seen how social determinants like poverty, violence, and State actions such as mass incarceration harm public health. Abolishing mass incarceration is now recognized as essential to reducing systemic violence. Collaborating with diverse professionals, I support the call to end the institutional elder abuse of perpetual incarceration, relying on existing policies and data that show the safety and necessity of releasing elderly prisoners.
The release of elderly prisoners is not about mercy but about enforcing the law. As a jailhouse lawyer with nearly 40 years of experience, I know the government cannot legally impose a sentence of death by imprisonment through repeated parole denials. My fight ensures prisoners’ legal rights are upheld and justice is delivered as defined by the laws in place at sentencing.
Author and Activist
As an activist and historian, my work seeks to uncover hidden truths and confront systemic injustices. Volunteering with P.E.A.C.E. allows me to address elder abuse in the parole system while connecting this issue to broader histories of racism and inequality. My mission is to amplify the voices of the vulnerable and work toward justice for all.
