Re: Commutation for Robert Wideman


Dear sir/ madam


I have come to know Mr. Wideman through self help 12-step
program. He attends and participates regularly, I am aware of his
commitment to recovery through his sponsorship of newer membership. As
fellow members we try not to judge one another, but if there is anyone I
have met at the prison whom has taken advantage of the personal change
promised through 12 steps, Mr. Wideman has. He provides positive
guidance and support to the members who are seeking help. Robert has
demonstrated care, compassion, and positive direction to others. Our
fellowship cares for one another and I am more than sure that Mr. Wideman
will obtain gainful employment and a strong supportive network in the 12-
step program. 

I hope this board will give Mr. Wideman consideration at a
second chance at life and grant his commutation. 


Sincerely yours


Roberta A Schick, CAC
