#FreeTheWilsonBrothers
Thank you for taking the time to help bring my brothers home. The outpouring of support has been inspiring. We cannot thank you enough.
As you know, both Neko and Lance have underlying health conditions putting them in the “high risk” category by the CDC. Lance has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and has not been seen by a doctor in prison. The conditions in both Terminal Island Prison and Navajo County Jail are despicable and unsanitary. In Navajo county, new people are admitted into the jail daily. The jail is so overcrowded that people are sleeping on the floor.
Your advocacy is invaluable to helping Neko and Lance come home where they belong. Your email, letter or phone call shows law enforcement, the judges and the prosecutors that people are not just going to stand by and watch a catastrophe like this happen. Not on your watch. Neko and Lance have made mistakes in their lives. But their mistakes should not become a death sentence.
Please use 4 templates below to send 4 separate emails to the various decision-makers for Neko and Lance. You can also call the numbers listed and voice your concern for Neko and Lance. Your email and call will bring awareness to the seriousness of the situation—thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear Felicia Ponce,
I am writing to ask that you release Lance Wilson on Compassionate Release.
Lance has serious health conditions that put him at “high risk” according to the CDC. He is a non-violent drug-offender and had minimal participation in the crime.
The living conditions at Terminal Island make it impossible for social distancing, there is limited sanitation, and no distribution of clean personal protective equipment.
Lance Wilson tested positive for COVID-19 in the first week of May. With the conditions in the prison, Lance could die. A drug charge should not be a death sentence.
I ask that you release Lance Wilson under Compassionate Release so he can get the medical treatment he needs to survive.
Sincerely,

EMAIL SUBJECT: Request to release Neko Wilson Immediately
SEND TO: joel.ruechel@navajocountyaz.gov
Dear Assistant District Attorney Joel Ruechal,
I am writing to ask that you dismiss Neko’s case or not oppose bail in his case.
Neko Wilson is currently being held without bail, on an 18 year-old marijuana charge. Neko has asthma and is “high risk” according to the CDC.
Neko Wilson is in a 4x12 cell with another person, making it impossible to social distance. There are no masks, gloves, or hand sanitizer. New inmates arrive hourly.
With his health conditions, if Neko contracts COVID, he has a high risk of death or serious illness. A drug charge should not be a death sentence.
I ask that you set bail in Neko Wilson’s case so he can survive to make it to trial.
Sincerely,
