This petition demands early release for Abdul Olugbala Shakur as promised in the COVID-19 early release programs and the Emergency Services California Act, Government Code section 8550, by the State of California and Gov Gavin Newsom. Abdul falls with in the target class of section 8550. which is those above the age of 50 who have served more than 30 years of their time and have a strong outside support network. This will help alleviate any additional burden on the system.
Furthermore, Mr. James Earl Harvey (aka: Abdul Olugbala Shakur/C-48884), a Prisoner who has served
40 years, having served 32 plus years in Solitary Confinement/SHU, suffers from heart disease
(A-Fib), making him vulnerable to the current COVID-19 epidemic, which could ultimately lead
to his death. Mr. Harvey has also been married for over 20 years.
In the past six months, due to underlying medical conditions which make them vulnerable to
contracting COVID-19, the (CDCR) released three to five thousand Prisoners. However, based
on state and federal records, the targeted population being released, the non-violent offenders, is
also the class with the highest potential for reoffending/recidivism.
