all former “lifers” who have won freedom in the past two years championing legislation to help buoy the men and women behind bars and taking their cases straight to lawmakers through testimony based on their firsthand experiences And they are garnering supporters to join in their causes as they look to chip away at the stigma surrounding people who have been incarcerated and have criminal records “We want to serve all the people who don’t have a voice inside,” Monteiro said in a recent interview a proposal to enable judges to reconsider a person’s sentence if she or he can demonstrate rehabilitation “We have an imperative to keep fighting for those still inside because someone did it for us when we were on the other side … Incarcerated people must have a fair opportunity to go home to their families or at the very least call home without the worry of being a burden,” the group wrote in a recent opinion piece in The Journal Monteiro knows the power of advocacy as the namesake of Mario’s Law passed in 2021 to give youthful offenders – like Monteiro Parkhurst and Campbell –  a chance to seek parole after serving 20 years if they committed their crimes before age 22 state lawmakers and supporters took up the cause for years Monteiro has been a free man since July 31 after 23 years behind bars He hopes to broadcast the message that people can change in Rhode Island and beyond It’s a message he strives to embody every moment of every day “Everyone has a chance to change,” Monteiro said during a recent interview at his Providence apartment “This law speaks to young people being able to change.” His mother died of HIV after battling addiction He spent his childhood in and out of group homes His father left him in the custody of his stepmother who tasked him with cooking and cutting up crack cocaine as a young child She directed him to hold the drugs in his mouth so she wouldn’t draw the suspicions of the police during late-night deliveries It was a life of physical and emotional abuse that led him to gang life I was getting what I wasn’t at home,” Monteiro said Monteiro was 17 years old when he fatally shot Cambodian immigrant Rom Peov on July 3 Sitting on a stoop with friends on Hanover Street “I am very remorseful for what I did,” Monteiro reflected recently I see what gun violence does to the community.” his case was waived out of Family Court and he was tried as an adult and he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms His time would be served in an adult prison where he had to navigate predators and gang disputes He got caught up in the same patterns behind bars “I was scared when I first got there,” Monteiro said where prisoners were confined to their cells 23 hours a day left Monteiro a lot of time to contemplate his choices “I picked up a passion for reading books,” he said He was buoyed along the way by the support of his mother’s sister and three corrections officers who coached and encouraged him He declined to name the officers for fear they would be branded “inmate lovers” and harassed Jensen fought for years on Monteiro’s behalf urging state lawmakers in 2019 to consider the impulsivity and immaturity of teenagers  "A sentence of life in prison is excessively harsh for such a young person many of whom themselves were victims of abuse and neglect," Jensen said Jensen was not alone in fighting for relief for juvenile offenders facing harsh sentences In 2016,  former state Sen. Harold M. Metts, D-Providence, proposed the first legislation to give young offenders an earlier chance to seek parole “There was nobody showing up when it was first proposed,” Monteiro said “That was my first taste of advocacy,” he said Every year since, Monteiro and others learned to sharpen their outreach and advocacy. He joined the Rhode Island chapter of Black & Pink a national organization dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ people and HIV positive prisoners Crucial bond made in prisonIn 2018, he met state Rep. Julie Casimiro as he graduated as valedictorian from the gang step-down program in the ACI's medium-security unit He gained insight into how his upbringing had shaped his youthful choices He began to understand how childhood trauma contributed they have trauma that has never been addressed,” Monteiro said took a course on anger management and began taking Community College of Rhode Island classes He trained service dogs – work that made him “feel so good as a human.” championed Mario’s Law with Monteiro in mind “She’s been a blessing through the whole process She’s my friend,” Monteiro said of Casimiro’s dedication in seeing the law through “The law she passed helps young people,” he said He credited Casimiro with helping to change perceptions Casimiro recalls being impressed by Monteiro’s speech at graduation, just as the juvenile-offender legislation came in front of the House Committee of the Judiciary Casimiro was moved by the testimony and asked to take over as sponsor Moran Medium Security Facility to meet with Monteiro bringing trusted advisors along to meet him as well I came to understand who Mario was and how he changed over the 20-plus years in prison He wasn't the same 17-year-old kid who was sentenced to 2 life sentences He was well spoken and seemed to be completely remorseful and rehabilitated,” Casimiro said in an email “I realized exactly who Mario was and that he no longer belonged behind bars you see a grown man who just wants to live a peaceful life .. not the 17-year-old gang member,” Casimiro said Their friendship continues to this day – with both relishing the relationship Monteiro quips that Casimiro’s husband makes a mean steak Monteiro expressed disappointment at the legal battle the state waged against Mario’s Law after its passage “We were arguing about what the word `any’ means “We all care about the victims of crime,” he added The state challenged Superior Court Judge Stephen P Monteiro and three other youthful offenders should be released on parole due to their rehabilitation efforts The state argued that the youthful-offender provision didn't apply to Monteiro's second consecutive life sentence and impinged upon the separation-of-powers doctrine by legislatively intervening in a judicially-imposed sentence it represented an "impermissible encroachment" by state lawmakers into an area reserved for the judiciary concluding that if the legislature intended to separate various sentences for parole consideration it would have specified that the law apply to "any single offense." It did not While Nugent ordered three other youthful offenders freed Nugent delayed Monteiro’s release based on the Parole Board’s 2021 finding that he first needed to transition to low security and prepare for his reintegration into society the state Supreme Court upheld Mario’s Law striking down the state’s arguments that it didn’t apply to people serving multiple consecutive sentences like Monteiro the high court found that the law mandates that an offender’s sentences be aggregated and that it did not violate the separation-of-powers doctrine that Nugent overstepped his authority in ordering that the men be released on parole and directed that the cases be remanded to the Parole Board six people have been freed and another 40 are eligible Megan Skinner, spokeswoman for Attorney General Peter F. Neronha's office said that the office represented the state in seeking a determination from the courts as to how parole eligibility should be properly calculated after the passage of Mario's Law the Rhode Island Supreme Court ultimately decided this issue – we respect the Court’s decision and interpretation of the parole statute We believe that the Court’s decision provided much needed clarity and the public at large – all of whom deserve to understand what criminal sentences really mean at the time they are imposed," Skinner said in an email The advocacy of his aunt and Casimiro resonated with Monteiro, prompting him, with Parkhurst and Campbell, to launch the RI Freedom Collective. The group received financial and administrative guidance from Dwight Hall’s Emerging Projects program at Yale University The Freedom Collective’s work exemplifies the Hall’s mission by “developing innovative solutions to injustice and inequality in Rhode Island and beyond,” an article highlighting the collaboration said The men believe their experiences in prison uniquely position them to advocate for criminal justice reforms the Rhode Island Formerly Incarcerated Union and the state affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union “We can now lead our own conversations,” said Parkhurst Parkhurst was 17 and a senior at North Smithfield High School in 1992 when he fatally shot 20-year-old Trevor Ramella during alcohol-fueled partying by teenagers and young adults at Ramella's house as his parents vacationed Parkhurst was sentenced to serve life in prison His release at age 43 came a year after the Parole Board revised its guidelines to take into consideration age immaturity and rehabilitation efforts in weighing whether to release offenders convicted of crimes committed before age 18 The board’s decision came over the objections of the state attorney general's office which wrote that "Despite this inmate’s young age at the time of this murder his actions were extraordinarily calculating Parkhurst is dedicated to the Freedom Collective’s cause The Freedom Collective made itself known at a recent rally in the Bell Room at the State House They took to the microphone during legislative hearings The Connecting Families Act came before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on April 3 “Why should we be giving inmates and their families free calls when individuals on the outside are working a job and don’t have the same benefit?” Committee Chairman Matthew LaMountain Wearing a white T-shirt bearing the Collective’s logo Parkhurst told of his experience serving time in Connecticut after his release on parole in the Ocean State “When phone calls went free … overnight the violence changed The gang members no longer controlled the phones in my housing unit,” he said and create a network of support upon his release He was no longer afraid to call his family or his lawyer “And I wanted to be connected in a way that gave me a chance when I got home,” he said it was being in contact with his aunt that uplifted and guided him through “tough moments” during his incarceration “Having the ability to stay in touch with your loved ones while you’re incarcerated is extremely important to rehabilitation and to keep hope,” he said Antonya Jeffrey, director of policy campaigns at Worth Rises an advocacy group dedicated to “working to end the exploitation of incarcerated people and their loved ones,” estimated that free communication across the state’s prisons would cost $436,000 to $566,000 annually while saving families $1.1 million Former Federal Communications Commission Acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn advocated for reasonable prison phone call rates under President Barack Obama “Multiple studies indicate that having meaningful contact beyond the prison walls can make a real difference in maintaining community ties promoting rehabilitation and reducing recidivism It also helps strengthen parental ties – further assisting both the children and their other parent,” she said A 2014 study of 255 high-risk incarcerated women showed that more frequent family contact via phone calls led to a reduced likelihood of reincarceration within five years of release jade and spider plants bask in the front window of Monteiro’s apartment He gives thanks to the outsized role Amos House played in his transition back to the community He shares an apartment owned by the organization with two roommates He now has a car that he takes to his job at Gardentime a nonprofit organization that prepares incarcerated and formerly incarcerated men and women for the workforce hands-on training with a focus on environmental justice and stewardship with a mission of “equipping a traditionally underserved population with the skills self-confidence and support they need to successfully transition to permanent employment and a productive life in the community.” He has a new appreciation for trees and growing things. Some of his favorites are in the Washington Park area. He plays soccer, works out three times a week and cares for his plants. He loves watching basketball and hopes to one day see Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark take the court “There are so many things I’m thankful for,” he said Monteiro educated himself during his years in prison on issues of poverty and disinvestment in schools in underserved neighborhoods and how that contributes to children embracing a gang lifestyle and sets people up for failure drugs and gangs are the products of such deprivation put resources into schools and communities,” he said He plans to mentor young people about his experience and to make a difference through his “authenticity.” “I want to be a positive example to show people what change looks like.” And he intends with Parkhurst and Campbell to pay it forward with advocacy through the RI Freedom Collective “We all got out because of advocacy,” Monteiro said Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application He leaves his beloved wife of 60 years Isabel B son of the late Antonio Puim and Umbelina (De Chaves) Monteiro He served in the Portuguese military in Angola Jose immigrated to the United States from his home in Fonte Jordao He was employed by the Chase Walton Company of Hudson He was a member of Saint Michael Parish in Hudson (Bill) Monteiro and his wife Marcia of Hudson MA; their 3 daughters and loving grandchildren Monteiro and her husband Derrick Sousa and Miley C He also leaves other relatives and friends Jose had many hobbies and interests throughout his life but most of all he enjoyed being outdoors at his homes He always looked forward to yearly trips in the summer months traveling to Santa Maria to visit family and friends He also volunteered at the Hudson Portuguese Club in preparations for the Holy Ghost Feast He cherished his family and spending time with his 3 granddaughters was always special to him He loved reading his poems and verses to his granddaughters and going to watch their sports games or school activities grandfather and friend is the legacy Jose leaves for his family and friends to cherish forever Visiting hours will be held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Sunday A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 am on Monday followed by a procession to Saint Michael Cemetery Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors Cameron Monteiro's college football career is on the move After spending a redshirt season at Pittsburgh the former Brockton High receiver announced on Saturday that he will transfer to the University of Akron Monteiro saw playing time in two games at Pittsburgh, staying below the maximum of four appearances to preserve the redshirt tag.

Commerce PROVIDENCE – Joao “John” Monteiro is sleeping better these days knowing that people will now understand he’s an innocent man all I want is to be able to walk outside and for people not to point our father will have peace," Monteiro said Monday in Cape Verdean Monteiro, 64, last week reached a $1-million settlement over his wrongful arrest in 2019 in the long-unsolved suspected murder of 10-year-old Christine Cole Christine vanished on a frigid January day in 1988 after being sent to buy groceries by her mother at a nearby store in Pawtucket The third grader’s body washed up in Conimicut Point in Warwick 54 days later A medical examiner declared the manner of death "asphyxia with submersion." Monteiro was cleared a month later by state prosecutors due to revelations that the DNA connection that had allegedly linked Monteiro to a stain on the inside of Christine’s pants was tenuous In the aftermath, Monteiro sued the City of Pawtucket; several individual officers who led the department’s cold-case unit; and Tamara Wong a former forensic scientist with the state Department of Health It was Wong who conducted the DNA testing that investigators said at the time of Monteiro’s arrest linked him to the murder Monteiro was hoping for a public trial to demonstrate the wrong that was done an apology was not something he could obtain through a trial The settlement brings him some vindication and closure,” Mark Loevy-Reyes the settlement offers his client a chance to start rebuilding his life though no amount of money can undo the pain and trauma he's faced “This settlement not only is a vindication for Mr that there must be accountability when those in power violate the rights they’re sworn to protect It’s a recognition of the harm he endured and a reminder of how important—and how fragile—our constitutional rights really are and that justice is still possible,” Devine said The settlement was reached with the city and the state The trial had been slated to start this week in U.S who represented the town through its insurer The Pawtucket Police announced with great fanfare in 2019 that they had solved the Christine Cole case It came a year after the department released a set of playing cards with each featuring a different cold case statewide in hopes that those who know something about the cases would forward grew emotional as she discussed Monteiro’s arrest “Seeking justice for Christine Cole is long overdue,” Cormier said at a news conference at the time Finalizing the report now,” Wong texted Cormier Congrats!” Wong said with a string of emojis Monteiro’s team argued that Wong’s use of the word “match” planted the seed that led Cormier to present false evidence to claim probable cause existed for Monteiro’s arrest Wong's report stated that the two profiles were "consistent with" each other with a statistical significance of “approximately 1 in every 1,909 individuals.” The city declined comment until the settlement is signed The fallout from Monteiro’s arrest caused him to lose his job of 15 years and slip into homelessness and unease He has since moved in with his younger sister where she cares for him and a 34-year-old son that was disabled in an accident “He is happy that the case is over and the public will know he’s innocent,” Correia said Correia recalled telling Cormier at the time of her brother’s arrest that she hadn’t gotten it wrong “She told me `DNA doesn't lie,’” Correia said She added that she had been looking

multiple product assembly capabilities and a strong At this year’s Automotive Logistics and Supply Chain Global conference in Dearborn head of logistics for VW Group of America Chattanooga Operations explained the carmaker’s flexible strategy for dealing with the sort of supply chain complexity that a litany of disruptive events has delivered to the automotive industry during and since Covid semiconductor shortages and geopolitical conflicts discusses how the plant adapts through enhanced visibility and resilient logistics strategies Monteiro listed three crucial factors in dealing with risk management Risk mitigation through commodities multiple sourcing Operations are complex enough at VW’s Chattanooga plant Monterio outlined that production of the ID.4 electric vehicle (EV) alongside the Atlas seven-seater SUV and coupe version involved managing 650 suppliers and 12 third-party logistics providers which are transporting about 5.5m cu.m of material per year in across 75,000 truck deliveries and about 2,400 sea containers He also pointed to in-plant logistics complexity which sees 151m internal pick and sequences we use 265 pieces of hydrogen powered equipment and I’m proudly responsible for a great team of over 1,500 logistics employees that carry out this activity,” said Monteiro That level of logistics complexity does not need any spanners to be thrown in the works but there have been several thrown at the automotive supply chain over the last four years while currently in abeyance until January next year ”All of these are events of extraordinary complexity things that we have to deal above and beyond our normal job in logistics,” said Monteiro either if it’s a supplier transport interruption or a catastrophic global event we have a couple of different action items that we can try to use to mitigate those interruptions – Paulo Monteiro Multiple sourcing and production flexibilitySo how to master that complexity and deal with disruption gaining better visibility along the supply chain and maintaining connectivity Monteiro said that Chattanooga benefits from sourcing components from multiple suppliers and from making the ID.4 and Atlas versions in Europe and China providing a guarantee of supply in the face of unforeseen disruption “The Chattanooga assembly line was also built in such a way that it can produce either petrol vehicles or EVs on the same assembly line,” said Monteiro Given the current supply and demand issues affecting the EV market VW has the capacity to produce on the Chattanooga assembly line exclusive production of internal-combustion-engine vehicles Monteiro outlined VW Group’s Supply Chain Interruptions Reaction Matrix for dealing with disruption which identifies three courses of action for three categories of interruption: supplier impact transport interruption and catastrophic global events we have a couple of different action items that we can try to use to mitigate those interruptions,” he explained alternative and/or double sourcing and expedited shipments the latter of which increased to around nine a day in 2023 which was necessary to keep assembly lines running at Chattanooga Tools for transparencyGreater visibility across the supply chain is also common sense and standard in the automotive industry today and there are a range to tools to support this “We have all the track and trace standard tools,” he said and this is also part of our digitalisation and transformation.” There are also automatic updates from port authorities on container vessel unloading and the departure of the truck carrying that container from the port.  provides automatic tracking by which VW Group can measure vessel performance and the same applies to expedited shipments all of VW Group’s supply chain is currently monitored because this is basically the industry system standard in terms of connectivity the company created a new Volkswagen AI Lab at the beginning of 2024 set up to be globally networked competence centre and incubator that will help the company identify new product ideas connected with AI and collaborate with tech companies as the need arises “We want to seek a new generation of digital products [and] seek tech companies’ collaboration,” said Monteiro adding that it is a priority to capture new technology solutions wherever they are available and integrate them into VW Group’s supply chain management Monteiro said the AI Lab is a product ideas generator and VW is integrating software to predict maintenance in production make changes in equipment that prevent downtime Monteiro also pointed to VW Group’s Electrify America network of more than 800 EV charging stations along major highways and cross-country routes in the US He said VW Group is using AI also to improve the charging network “While we all continue to pursue AI as the next ‘fountain of eternal life’ we need to continue to rely in our logistics teams,” he said is the secret to success” – Paulo Monteiro there is one other factor in attaining better visibility and flexibility to deal with supply chain complexity and that is through closer and more inclusive collaboration with a diverse community of logistics professionals “We really believe that the diversity makes organisations stronger,” said Monteiro hired from outside [VW Group] together with those given opportunities from the shopfloor to grow up and develop as happened to myself.” Monteiro said that diverse talent helped creating resilience through the collaboration and the experience that everyone needed to handle the daily challenges affecting the supply chain For more coverage of sessions at Automotive Logistics and Supply Chain Global 2024 visit our recap blog Honda and Nissan have signed an MoU to explore

people might want or need to make days events and celebrations just a little bit more special I try and look for local suppliers who have quality gifts but also who employ individuals with

races on the ballot in Danbury Patch reached out to candidates for office to get more information on their campaigns and the issues that are facing the city and state Campaign website Education: B.B.A Western Connecticut State University 2005 Family: Since 1940 Austin`s family has been serving the people of Danbury Monteiro and Son Plumbing in 1940 and is still in business today His Uncle Americo Ventura started Ventura Law in the 1950s and had a major impact on our community was a Danbury Police Detective for 30 years and Austin’s stepfather has been a physician with a Danbury practice since 1990 Does anyone in your family work in politics or government I am seeking this office to serve all the People of the 110 District I am seeking this office to be a part of the solution I am seeking this office to Right the Ship from ineffective government and I believe that this district is going the wrong direction under the current 'leadership" that has been in this seat since Ronald Reagan was President We need to move in a new direction as a District and that time is now We need to address the Affordability and Crime issues head on Right now Connecticut is ranked near the bottom in the Country in Tax Burden These are all categories we do NOT want to be ranked near the bottom in the Country in especially in the 110 District where the average income is around $49,000 a year the ways we will address this is to one address the Eversource " Public Benefit" Issue and to lighten this burden on the PEOPLE to incentive small business owners with tax incentives not decentivize them like my opponent has and to create more job opportunities in the 110 district specifically Now when it comes to addressing the Crime issue we will look to reform the Police Accountability Act which has handcuffed our Police from being able to do their jobs We will also look to raise bail bond back to 10% from 7% and also form task forces to push back on gang activity that is happening in Danbury There have been an alarming number of deaths on Connecticut's roadways Is there anything from a legislative standpoint that can be done to address that We CANNOT have members of CTs General Assembly driving Drunk and causing accidents in Hartford Some ways we will address this is by looking at infrastructure in areas where the data shows these accidents are happening We must also crack down on those driving under the influence whether that's alcohol marijuana or distracted drivers on their cell phones we need our Police to be able to do their jobs and enforce the law What are the major differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post My opponent has been in office since Ronald Regan was president the 110 district has gone in the wrong direction when it comes to education I come to the people of my hometown and district with energy diverse ideas to work for all of them in Hartford Part of this job is to also inform the people of the 110 about what is going on regarding legislation that affects Danbury and part of the next generation of leadership I will work overtime to keep everyone informed on policies and issues that are affecting daily life What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job I have run for office previously as an Independent and a Republican in Brookfield I also served as Vice Chair of the RTC and was on the Energy Advisory Committee This experience has given me the privilege to gain a wealth of knowledge in how government is supposed to work for the people I have also been a business owner for 10 years which requires the ability to work and build relationships with everyone It also requires the ability to manage the budget of the business and work to grow the business as well as work to bring added value to the community through the business In my opinion I think being a business owner is a great asset and brings a level of experience needed for this job Another accomplishment would be that I have coached high level athletic teams With this experience it is about building relationships with your players Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions My goal is to make Danbury and the 110 district safer as well as upgrade our education and be an example for our next generation Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.
