Dear Board Members:

Re: James Carl Brown TDCJ ID# 01425543

Please DO NOT to grant parole James Carl Brown. As a concerned citizen, I'm writing to protest the projected parole. The 5 year sentence that Mr. Brown received was in no way adequate for the seriousness of the crime he took part in on 21 May 2006. Mr. Brown and his companions kidnapped and beat Wesley Knight and held him until ransom was paid for his release. Due to the violent nature of the crime, justice demands that James Carl Brown be made to spend every day of his sentence in prison. Please consider the maximum set off before future parole reviews.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
