I Have Nothing Funny to Say About This

Hello Freedomphiles! Some wishes are far too important not to answer. Such is the case with sweet little ten-year-old Jayci Yaeger, who is dying of brain cancer. Is her wish to hang out with Justin Timberlake or go to Disney World?

No.

It is to see her father one last time before she dies.

Seems an easy request, no? Well, it would be an easy request if you or I ran the world, but unfortunately her father’s life is in the hands of a douchebag warden at a federal minimum security prison in Yankton, South Dakota. CBSNews reports (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/20/earlyshow/main3953431.shtml?source=mostpop_story):

However, her father, Jason Yaeger, is in a federal minimum security prison in South Dakota, serving five-and-a-half years for a drug conviction. He has less than a year left in his sentence, and is set to be released to a halfway house in four months.

Jason and the Yaeger family have appealed many times to the warden for a 30-day supervised release, which could be allowed under "extraordinary circumstances." However, the family says these appeals have been denied, and the prison tells them the circumstances are not "extraordinary."

This isn’t extraordinary? What would it take for something to be extraordinary? I mean, look at that little girl (right). Is this warden dead inside?

It’s not like they are asking for early release or anything - just a supervised 30 day release so this terrified little girl, facing something a fair and just world wouldn’t put on her for another seventy years, can see her daddy, fall into his big arms, and cry with him.

The guy is in minimum security prison, so its clearly just one of those nonviolent drug crimes that Drug Warriors always say don’t land you in prison. And he’s set to be released into a halfway house in only five months. Unfortunately, doctors don’t think (http://www.ketv.com/family/15643474/detail.html)she is going to live that long.

Jayci still gets calls when her father can manage.

"He talks to her. We put the phone to her ear and she cries," Vonda Yaeger said.

She said there have been several times she didn’t think Jayci would make it through the night, but she somehow keeps fighting.

"I feel she’s hanging on for her dad," Vonda Yaeger said.

Vonda says that Jason has always been a very good father to Jayci, and adds "She didn’t do anything wrong. He was there for her when she was born. He should be there for her when she goes."

Agreed. Normally, I have something snarky to say regarding just about every story I blog. I have nothing for this, except profound sadness and anger at a system that puts punishment for the ingestion of non-politically correct chemicals above the dying wish of a little girl.

This decision is at the sole discretion of the warden, so if you want to contact the prison to express your outrage and urge them to reconsider, here’s the info:

By the way, can Ron Paul help in any way? I know he is not from SD, but he is a Congressman after all.

He has no power over it because it is a federal prison.

Father Released From Prison To Visit Dying Daughter

OMAHA, Neb. -- An imprisoned father went to his dying daughter's bedside Wednesday, a visit federal authorities allowed only after being deluged with letters and phone calls from across the nation.

Letters and e-mails from across the nation have reached the Yaeger family and appealed to the prison to allow the man to see his daughter. The family asked the media to share their story with the hope of encouraging prison officials to allow the visit.
