Greg could have a friendly conversation with just about anybody,…Greg extends care and warmth to everyone he meets. I have also been struck by Greg’s thoughtfulness. I have had the privilege of reading some of Greg’s written reflections on his experiences of incarceration, and I have been consistently impressed by his eloquent self-reflections. Greg has made it clear to me that he recognizes that he has caused great harm, and is taking steps to make amends in whatever forms possible. If Greg were released early, I have no doubt that he would model for others how to cultivate and spread compassion, care, and accountability. Greg’s kindness, intelligence, and honesty are great gifts. To confine Greg to a life in prison would be to deprive the world of these gifts.
