Dorothy
Gaines
Clemency
Petition
4/14/00
The May issue of Marie Claire
magazine features the case of Dorothy Gaines, a Federal prisoner sentenced
to 235 months for her role in a crack cocaine conspiracy. Gaines
has steadfastly insisted on her innocence, and her case was featured on
the PBS Frontline documentary Snitch last year.
The Criminal Justice Policy
Foundation has provided a clemency letter to President Clinton, which can
be accessed, sent or printed online at http://www.cjpf.org/gaines.html.
Those wishing to send letters
of support to Ms. Gaines can write her at:
