PLEASE READ: Jerome Wright is 58 years old. Was imprisoned at 18. Released 30 yrs later. Beloved community member. Justice activist. Church deacon. Caregiver to son w/ down syndrome. But he’s been jailed for last 6 months. Why? Parole falsely claims he tested positive for drugs.
Jerome denies drug use. Those who know him say it’s implausible. Was clean for decades. And the day he was tested, he went voluntarily to parole to request a travel pass to attend an out-of-state conference for his job. He’d just choose to use on that day? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
But it shouldn’t matter whether Jerome used. For 10 years his parole record was impeccable. No missed meetings, curfew, rule violations. Worked w/ parole, helping others home from prison. Mentored at-risk youth. But no credit for any of that. One alleged violation, it’s over.
