Felix has had a good year attending classes, working, and staying healthy. His effective parole interview will be in May via video phone, and I will be talking with the parole commission on Felix’s behalf the following month for his last parole hearing. Barring unforeseen problems, Felix will finally get out of prison. After forty-two

Two More Years for Felix Garcia

Aug 20, 2022deafinprisonorg2 CommentsFelix Garcia Case#FreeFelix, #JusticeForFelix, Deaf in Prison, DeafInPrison.com, Pat Bliss

Felix had his sixth parole hearing in May, but life still goes on in spite of the fact there wasn’t a consideration for parole until 2024. Was Felix disappointed? Oh yes! Quite angry at first, in fact, but fortunately the HEARD organization provided direct communication to lessen the impact and reiterate to Felix their organization’s commitment to continue to support him during the next two years.

On August 19, Felix had his 5th parole hearing, this time held over a conference call. I did not have to travel to Florida to appear before the Parole Commission. The outcome was a denial. The next hearing will be in Aug. 2022. When a sentence is handed down, the inmate is given a PPRD.

Right now as I write this (December 12th) Felix is in his glory seeing all the snow that fell over the past weekend. He said he got 9 inches. He loved it. He thought it would be nice if it would snow all the time. Of course, you are looking at a southerner who was

“I like it here.” I hear those words from Felix a lot. He still feels blessed and happy to be in Virginia. I know it has been a very long time since I have written anything on Felix. While it does mean Felix is doing well here in VDOC – thanks in large part to
