      10 DAYS
      MAKES THE
      DIFFERENCE


        Monthly Review author David Gilbert, a valued member of the
        Monthly Review community, imprisoned in New York State for forty
        years for having been the unarmed getaway driver in a robbery
        with tragic consequences, had his sentence commuted, referring
        him to the New York State Board of Parole “for potential
        release.” /We have just been informed that David will be before
        the Parole Board on October 19th or 20th. /

        *New York State Police Unions are engaged in a campaign against
        David. We have a narrow window in which we can let the Parole
        Board know that our community supports his release. *


        *If, /by Saturday, /**/October 9th/**, you are able to write the
        Parole Board with copy to David’s legal team, it can materially
        aid his chance for release. *

        /*Your support for David in the requests for clemency sent to
        the Governor’s office was a major factor in the commutation of
        his sentence.*/


        A letter expressing support for David’s release on parole from
        your own knowledge of the importance of redemption and
        rehabilitation, and of the negative results of vengeance and
        punishment without end, can make a difference.


      Here is what you need to know.../The basic facts about David/:


        David Gilbert is 76 years old and has served 40 years in New
        York State maximum security prisons.  During a 1981 armored-car
        robbery, a guard for the Brink’s security company and two Nyack,
        NY, police officers were killed.

        David acted as a getaway driver. He did not injure anyone, nor
        was he armed. Under New York State’s felony murder law, any
        participant in a robbery bears full legal responsibility for any
        deaths that ensue. David has expressed profound remorse for the
        terrible damage caused by his crime, and his conduct over the
        last 40 years is the living expression of that remorse.

        David Gilbert has been a force against violence in every
        institution where he has been incarcerated. He has mentored
        countless young men in finding ways other than violence to
        resolve disputes and to guide their lives. David’s pioneering
        work on HIV/AIDs education in prison saved many lives and became
        a national model.  David’s freedom is urged by four Nobel Peace
        Prize Laureates, including South African Archbishop Emeritus
        Desmond Tutu, along with many others of all walks of life. (See

        Gilbert’s freedom! /
