Paragraph
of myself:
My name is Charles Blunt and I'm 40yrs old. I
have been incarcerated for 16yrs. I was 23yrs
old when I came to Prison. I'm currently serving a 40yr sentence for first degree reckless homicide-possession of a firearm by a felon. When I came to prison I was
young and had no direction in my
life. Growing up in the streets of Milwaukee and hanging with the wrong groups led me to make decisions that eventually led me to prison. My life was headed in the fast
lane making wrong choices everyday.
On Feb.4th 1999 I began my 40yr sentence. While in
prison I grow up to be a man and take responsibility for my actions and the
crime I have committed. Taking back the crime that I have committed is only a
selfless thought as I have grown into a man I have come to terms with my crime and excepted my
responsibility While
in prison I have seen my two children grow up without me. I have
tried to teach them through letters and visits to make the right decisions and
to always think about the consequences that come behind every decision they make no matter how small the decision is. Both of
my children graduated from high school and have children of their own.
I have been serving my sentence for my
crime, but it seems that I might not go home. Every time I go
before the parole board I hear the same thing. I have been doing
everything that the parole board tells me to do. I have stayed out
of trouble during my incarceration I have been working on my
rehabilitation as you can see on page one.
I have two more programs to complete, but I need the parole board
to endorse me into those two programs. I might be one of the
few prisoners that don't want to go home yet just go to a
minimum to make some money to have for release. I would like to
pay my own way and not depend on my family to help me. I have talked to the parole board and PRC here about my plans for
program. The parole board tells
me it's up to PRC and PRC tells me it's
up to the parole board. These are the games this two committees play with old law inmates. I see the parole
board in Jan. of 2016 and hope of an 11
month defer with an endorsement into my programs
so that I can begin my reintegration back into society.
In closing I hope that this letter will help
the Old Law inmates. Exposing the games that
the Department of Corrections plays with keeping inmates locked up past their sentences and costing the taxpayers
millions of dollars that could be used
for other programs to help our youth
stay out of trouble and stay out of prisons.
I hope and pray that this new parole commissioner makes changes to the PAC1 and
helps save Wisconsin millions in over spending
on inmates who have been rehabilitated for years.
I thank
you for your time in this cause-Please feel free to contact me for any further information you might need.

COMMISSION
COMMENTS
You were seen today for parole consideration
for case 99CFR40 Ct#1 1st degree reckless Homicide and ct#2,.
Felon
in Possession of a Firearm. Your MR date for this case is 11‑3‑25 and your PED
date is 3‑3‑14. This is a PMR case in which you have now served approximately
14 years and 10 months on a 40 year sentence, noting that you have also served
time during this incarceration for 2nd Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety and
Interfere with Firefighting. According to the record the index case from 2‑4‑99,
involved you (while on parole supervision / Grant date 12‑9‑97) shooting your
girlfriend in the head, resulting in her death. It is noted that you had been
drinking and arguing when you pulled out a handgun from under a mattress and
shot her one time in the head. You then fled the residence and hid the gun in a
snowbank. You admit to the behavior, but claim that this was an accident. You
state that the revolver had a bullet in the chamber, so you spun the revolver
and then pulled the trigger not expecting that it would fire. At 38 years of
age this is your 2nd incarceration and you have a lengthy assaultive criminal
record, noting a juvenile adjudication for a
gun
case and an allegation from a previous revocation that you had held a gun to a
mans head. Your conduct while incarcerated includes 25 minor and 2 major CR's
with the last major (Unauthorized Communication) occurring on 4‑2202. You have
unmet essential treatment needs of AODA (Wait List) and Domestic Violence (Wait
List) each of which you have expressed an interest in completing prior to
release. To your credit you have completed the CGIP (9‑11‑03) and Anger
Management programs (2‑28‑00). Your release plan notes that you would like to
live with your daughter. This may
be
workable, but will need your agent's approval when time frames are more
appropriate. Based on the nature and severity of the case, the senseless taking
of a life, the fact that you have unmet treatment needs and a poor history on
community supervision (prior revocations in 1994, 1996 and 1999).it is clear
that you continue to present as an unreasonable risk and that more time is
warranted so as not to depreciate the severity of your offending behaviors and
therefore the decision by the Commission will be to defer your case for 24
months.
