   "Dear people,
   My name is Wayne Hutchinson, I am 40 yrs. old.  I have a wife and 3 
beautiful children.  I come from the Vermont mountains, (northern).  I am
locked in a federal prison in Southern N.Y. for 5 years under mandatory
minimum sentencing.  I am a first time offender - non-violent.  I was
convicted for growing 103 marijuana plants in my own home on my land in
the mountains in the middle of nowhere.  99 plants would have been a
probation charge.  The plants were for my own use knowing that 60%-65%
would have been males and discarded.  I had my own painting co. for 15
years, supported my family.  Now my home and land is gone, my wife and
children on welfare and the government supports me.  My life & family 
unit is destroyed so far.  My children are depressed and mixed-up because
they don't know why the law is so unfair like this.  72 plants were 2in.
high.  Please give me some hope and feedback"
