Kendrick Fulton is being sent to county jail! Why? Because he lost his housing.

John, Kendrick has spent the past two years at home after being released from federal prison on home confinement. He’s been reconnecting with his children, excelling at work where he even got a promotion, going to church, and being a valuable member of his community. Kendrick even got to spend Christmas with his mother for the first time in almost two decades.

And now Kendrick is being sent to county jail for an indefinite amount of time. Not because he violated the terms of home confinement, or harmed anyone, but because he lost his housing accommodation. 

John Kendrick was getting ready to move to Dallas for a new job opportunity. He had put in a request for the transfer Monday, but his interim housing fell through. And because the Bureau of Prisons doesn't allow people with more than a year left on their sentence to stay in a halfway house, Kendrick is being sent to JAIL while awaiting approval for his move.

This is not a humane solution. Kendrick has loved ones who are willing to take him in until his transfer is approved. They are begging now to keep him out of jail. 

demand the bureaU of prisons release Kendrick!

John, the Bureau of Prisons is planning to hold Kendrick in county jail indefinitely as he waits for his job transfer to be approved. He won’t be able to communicate with his family and advocates, work and make money, or take care of himself. 

This situation only further demonstrates the carceral nature of home confinement. A normal change in circumstance for someone on home confinement can result in them being ripped from their families, friends, and communities without hesitation. 

This is why we continue to fight for clemency for all those on home confinement like Kendrick. We need to put an end to these arbitrary and cruel decisions made by the BOP, and instead create real stability and pathways to freedom for people. 

In the meantime, John, we need to ensure that Kendrick is not sent to a jail so he can continue to stay safe and healthy. 

We know that people will always have a better chance at surviving and thriving when at home and surrounded by family and community. The Bureau of Prisons has the power to allow Kendrick to continue his life, and secure new housing, but instead, they have chosen to throw him back in a cage.

Take action, sign the petition!

tell the burEaU of prisons to keep Kendrick home!
