PETITION: RE: Terry Joe Windham I.D. #0204460

On April 11, 1989, 16 year old Jeremy Peter Flachbart a learning disabled student was brutally beaten to death by Terry Joe
Windham (who was on probation for burglary and vandalism), who decided he wanted to commit murder to see what it felt like
to kill. Jeremy, was on his way home from school when he was ambushed and beat to death with a 2 foot section of 4x4 fence
post by Windham. After hitting Jeremy once from behind, Jeremy went down and Windham hit him 10 more times, after the
10th blow Jeremy groaned and Windham hit him 5 more times for a total of 16 blows. Windham, went to a local game room to
brag about his vicious act of murder, to his younger brother and some friends; he then took them to view Jeremy's body. While
the police were investigating the scene he was on the sidelines watching, bragging, laughing, and making threats that if anyone
told on him he'd kill them too. He was arrested on the scene, confessed, and was charged with 1st degree Murder; plea
bargained down to 2nd degree Murder; was sentenced to 20 years. While he was in jail awaiting trial he made threatening
phone calls to students. He will have served a little over 11 years of his sentence, he will have a 5th parole hearing in July 2000.

It has been learned that Terry Windham has had some "problems" in prison:

He was sentenced 20 years on 4/11/89. He became eligible for parole 3/16/91.

(The murder happened on 4/11/89 but because of the way sentencing is figured in Tennessee he was sentenced on the day the
crime happened). If he isn't paroled, he will flatten his sentence sometime in 2004. It is hard to say exactly when due to the
goodtime days he will earn each month. Right now his expiration date is 3/16/2005 but the date moves each month as he earns
his goodtime. He can earn up to 15 or 16 days, depending on how many days there is in the month. Up to 1997 he had several
drug charges in prison in 1996 and 1997. He had a positive drug screen 6/20/1996 and another charge of refusing a drug
screen on 10/29/1997, and also got a charge of drug possession on 10/29/1997. These are all class B charges and cannot be
paroled within a year of these charges which he has already satisfied (it has been over a year). He had several other Class C
charges over the years (violation of TDOC policies). These are not considered serious and generally doesn't effect parole
unless it happens within 30 days of parole I believe. His last three charges was 4/18/99, he got a Class C, "Failure to report as
scheduled." 4/19/99 he got a Class C, Failure to report as scheduled. 6/20/99, he got a Class C, Violation of TDOC policies.

He has served over a third of his sentence which is generally when convicts are paroled. Looking at everything and based on
the parole board's history of granting paroles, I would say he is probably going to make parole unless some outside influence
occurs.

Uhhh, this guy needs another 20 to cool his heels (at least). Send the email, it will take less time than the actual murder.

Also from the website:

CRIME STATISTICS

The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that in 1991 alone, 156,000 paroled inmates were returned to state prisons for offenses
committed after their early releases. In the year after their paroles, they committed at least 6,800 murders, 5,500 rapes, 8,800
assaults, 22,500 robberies, That averages out to 18 murders, 14 rapes, 57 robberies 23 assaults per DAY by ex-convicts
released permaturely from prison. Probation: 160,000 probation violators had committed at least an additional 6,400 murders,
7,400 rapes, 10,400 assaults and 17,000 robberies while under supervision. In 1960 there were about 738 incarcerated felons
for every 1,000 violent crimes, but after two decades of increasing leniency in the system by 1980 only abot 227 were locked
up for every 1,000 violent offenses. During those years the per capita rate of reported violent crime quadrupled. During the
1980s and continuing until this day, a public weary of crime has demanded tougher punishments. Results, incarceration rates
increased by 1994 about 511 felons were incarcerated for every 1,000 vioent offenses.

Next time an Anti says its all the fault of the guns, point out how many of our crimes are committed by people who SHOULD be in prison. Of course, locking someone up requires moral authority, so Pinkos always have a problem with it.

"Put a rifle in the hands of a Subject, and he immediately becomes a Citizen." -- Jeff Cooper

"The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty - and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies." -- H.L. Mencken, February 12, 1923, Baltimore Evening Sun

Here's a thought. Instead of awarding "goodtime" days or whatever, reward good behavior in prison by letting them out when their sentence is served. For example, if the sentence is 20 years, and the prisoner has behaved himself, they're set free after 20 years. If, OTOH, they don't behave, award them "badtime" days and extend their stay. I suppose Futo could tell us why this is not possible, but it sure does sound good to me...

That struck me too. 15 or 16 "goodtime" days per month? Why bother with prison at all. I'd hope someone in Tennessee would look into that nonsense.

Do they get ice cream bars if they're good too? Because "goodtime" days and ice cream bars are every prisoners right and God help us we deny them.

I also can't believe they let him plea this down to 2nd degree murder. Anyone who's that vicious, attacking randomly is EXTREMELY dangerous, IMHO. I think that's pretty much the definition of a Sociopath, which as I understand is completely untreatable by anything short of a lobotomy.
 
My letter:

I was VERY distressed to hear about the possible parole of Terry Joe Windham on an Internet bulletin board today. I would hope that the good people of Tennessee would have the sense to keep this vicious predator behind bars for as long as humanly possible.

As a concerned citizen, I want to express my gravest concerns over a criminal justice system that does not adequately punish even the most deadly offenders. Terry Joe Windham is a violent, sadistic human being whose debt to society will only be paid when he is removed from it. While that is not an option, I would hope that the parole board would at least have enough consideration for the family of his victim to keep him incarcerated for the maximum length of time possible.

Sincerely,

Mark Wasson

I have always felt that the parole laws should be changed.

It should be MANDATORY that the parolee be required to live with each of the parole board members for a period of time, so that they can see how the rest of us like it when they turn these dirtbags loose on us.

Incidentally, that would solve the problem of lenient parole board members permanently (If they survive).

If I read correctly he wanted to see how it was to murder someone . That sounds like pre meditation to me . Am I missing something ? As far as ice cream bars are concerned I think it's only right to afford them some of the nice things . That is if I can bring it to him . Rat poison , rat poison DAMMIT !! Where did I put it ? Wait a minute I'll be there with his ice cream in a minute .
