The goal of this page is to raise and send money to the jail accounts of our non-violent marijuana offenders so they will have better toiletries, underwear, blankets and food while serving their unjust sentences.
Meet the newlyweds, Bruce and Brenda Shoop. She is a Registered Nurse and he has a Master's Degree. Both have no history of violence and are currently imprisoned in the Baldwin County Jail in Alabama for growing marijuana plants. These two citizens are among the 1.5 million non-violent drug offenders we have locked up in America. If we emptied our federal prisons of non-violent drug offenders, we would release 55% of the prison population leaving room for the real criminals. Our country's incarceration rate is higher than any country in the world with 1 in 100 Americans behind bars. Our own citizens are locking each other up at an alarming rate. If any person thinks our country is free, there are 1.5 million citizens and their families who can prove it is not.
When you donate, half the money will go to the prisoners and the other half will go to the NeverGetBusted movement. 100% of your money is being used for something good.
Jail is not a country club like I was taught as a child. Growing up, I often heard the comment, "They've got colored TVs and pool tables. Hell, they have it better than us." That is a lie!!! Jail is the most depressing place a person can be. It smells like urine and feces, the sounds of jail are chilling, the food is inadequate and our prisoners must constantly be on guard for their safety.
Even the Bible declares orphans, widows and PRISONERS should be ministered to.
Our Micro Donation button on this page allows you to donate as little as one dollar using Paypal or your credit card. We will post the prisoner's letters of thanks as we receive them. If you have a loved one behind bars for a non-violent marijuana crime, please email barry@nevergetbusted.com with their story and we will send them money. We want to add as many prisoners to this page as your donations allow!
Update: Brenda has been released! Yeahhhhhh! Unfortunately, Bruce was transferred to the Alabama Department of Corrections at the Frank Lee Work Center in Deatsville. Fortunately he has been accepted for the early release program and should be home by Christmas. I'm mailing him another check soon so show some love if you can afford it. Please donate.
