**July 10:** While everyone was focused on politics, **5,361 clemency petitions were denied.**
**Forty-eight people on the Freedom Grow clemency list were among those denied.**
**Another 12 Freedom Grow applicants had already been denied in January.**
Among those denied on **July 10** were:
- Juan Cisneros — LIFE
- Parker Coleman — 60 years
- Pedro Moreno — LIFE
- Malik Sessoms — 72 months
- Gilberto Valadez — 188 months
- Allen Woods — 180 months
- Michael Woods — LIFE
This is heartbreaking for the prisoners, their families, and everyone who has spent years advocating for their release.
At this point, we have no way of knowing why these petitions were denied. The clemency process does not publicly explain the reasons behind individual decisions.
These are just seven of the 48 Freedom Grow applicants whose petitions were denied that day.
Free the plant prisoners.
