October 16, 2007, 5:54pm (report abuse)Please help with the Nonviolent Offender Relief Act. Ammends the federal criminal code to direct the Bureau of prisons, pursuant/increase a good time policy, to release a prisoner who has served one half or more of his or her term of imprisonment if that prisoner has attained age 60 for elderly with health problems and has never been convicted of a crime of violence and has not engaged in any violation, involving violent conduct, of institutional disciplinary regulations. Please release the elderly nonviolent persons to the custody of a family member, and let them live happy for the remainder of thier life, at the expense of thier family. I have a brother who is incarcerated and and has served 6 years of 188 months. I would be happy to contribute to his release at any time. although, he would not qualify to be released but we could see the "LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL".

October 16, 2007, 6:22pm (report abuse)This bill is sipposed to contain wording of HR 261. It needs to be passed. Support those who have hurt no one, and their families. Let them work for a living and pay taxes. What a better way to pay back to society.

October 17, 2007, 1:36am (report abuse)PORK PORK and MORE PORK.. This bill (H.R. 3093) is nothing more than a pork spending bill. Get the government out of the "helping people" business and back to managing the affairs of this country!! Take responsibility for your own actions and seek help from the organizations designed to help people, not the government!! This is the type of legislation that causes this country to be TRILLIONS of dollars in debt and causes our taxes to be increased. There is good legislation in this bill but there is also some really bad legislation in this bill, we have got to quit allowing passage of these types of bills. We look at a bill overall and say the good legislation outweighs the bad and allow our elected officials to pass it... the problem with this is the bad in the next bill compounds the bad in a previous bill and we end up in the quagmire we found ourselves continually in.
