LINCOLN, Neb. -- A 10-year-old Lincoln girl dying of brain cancer has one wish -- for her father to be at her bedside.
It isn't likely to happen. Her father is in a federal prison in Yankton, S.D.
Vonda Yaeger is pleading with the warden for compassion to grant her daughter's wish.
"She wants her dad. She goes to her room crying because she wants her dad," Yaeger said.
Jason Yaeger was convicted of methamphetamine charges nearly five years ago and is scheduled to be released next year.
"We've never asked them to release him early. Never asked them to change anything. We've asked them to just give him some time to be here," Vonda Yaeger said.
Jayci Yaeger has been allowed three escorted visits with her father, but each trip lasts only a couple of hours and costs the family hundreds of dollars. Requests for longer furloughs have been denied.
"They say it doesn't constitute an extraordinary circumstance," Vonda Yaeger said.

ReplyDeleteContact the prison information: Phone: 605-665-3262 Main switchboard; they'll ask if it's in regards to a prisoner; say no and ask for someone the Executive Administrative Staff
email them at: YAN/EXECASSISTANT@BOP.GOV
Write the Warden personally:
WARDEN WHITEHEAD

Call, write, email. Flood them. I don't even care if they're flooded with negative comments towards Jason. The more they have to deal with the public, the better.
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive. Jayci is still holding on.
There is an e mail going out in a few moments from my little end of the world. My prayers are for all concerned. God bless!
