According to Jose:
I come from a loving family who have been supportive of me since my release under the CARES Act. Since my release I worked right away to begin to repair all the wrongs that took place during my incarceration. I am deeply sorry for all the pain and suffering I have caused my family and now am ready and able to give back to them. I began working right away upon my release; however, I suffered an injury and have been on worker’s comp. I am doing better and am about to find a new job.
I have been home since May 6, 2020, and I was advised by my Probation Officer that I am to contact him in October 2022, and he would grant me an early release from home confinement. My concern is that I will be sent back to prison before that date to finish my sentence. I am not a danger to society; I never was. I completed many programs to occupy my time and remained incident free. If given clemency by President Biden I would forever value his mercy.
