WRONGFUL CONVICTION DAY | OCTOBER 2

She survived. And then she was punished.

Today, on Wrongful Conviction Day, The Clemency Project of Nevada stands with Shirron Gayles-Zanders and calls attention to her continued fight to challenge her conviction.

Shirron is a survivor of domestic violence. Her story forces us to confront a difficult question:

What happens when a survivor enters the criminal legal system and the circumstances of her abuse, trauma, and survival are not fully understood?

For Shirron, the consequences have meant years behind prison walls while she continues to maintain her innocence and pursue legal relief.

SURVIVED & PUNISHED.

Those words describe a painful reality faced by some criminalized survivors: surviving violence does not always lead to safety. Sometimes it is followed by prosecution, incarceration, separation from family, and years of fighting to be heard.

Wrongful Conviction Day is about more than acknowledging that the justice system makes mistakes, It is about refusing to look away when someone continues to say:

“Look at my case. Look at the evidence. Hear my story.”

Today, we say her name:

SHIRRON GAYLES-ZANDERS

Her story matters.
Her voice matters.
Her fight for justice matters.
Her life matters.

Survived. Punished. Still fighting.

The Clemency Project of Nevada stands with Shirron and with survivors whose stories deserve to be heard.

💜 $5 FRIDAY: COMMUNITY TAKES CARE OF COMMUNITY 💜

No one should feel forgotten because they are behind the walls.

At The Clemency Project of Nevada, staying connected with our incarcerated comrades is part of how we show up for one another. Letters, phone calls, and messages remind people that they still have a community standing beside them.

That’s why we’re asking our community to come together for $5 Friday.

💌 $5 helps with postage.
📞 $5 helps us take calls.
💬 $5 helps keep messages and communication flowing.

One person giving $5 may feel small. But when 10 neighbors give $5, that becomes $50. When 20 give, it becomes $100. When an entire community participates, small acts of support become something powerful.

💜 JOIN US THIS $5 FRIDAY

Scan the PayPal QR code on the flyer and donate $5.

Then help us grow the circle: share this post and invite a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor to give $5 too.

This isn't about how much one person can give.

It's about what we can do together.

We also accept Zelle: 725-300-4211

People supporting people.
Community supporting community.
And a reminder to our incarcerated comrades:

You are still part of this community. You are not forgotten.

⚖️ WRONGFUL CONVICTION DAY - OCTOBER 2

What if you were innocent, but no one believed you?

Every year on October 2, we recognize Wrongful Conviction Day and the people who have lost years, sometimes decades of their lives to wrongful convictions.

Behind every wrongful conviction is a human being.

A mother.
A father.
A son.
A daughter.
A family waiting for someone to come home.

Wrongful convictions remind us why our justice system must always leave room to correct injustice, examine new evidence, challenge unreliable evidence, and hear claims of innocence.

For those still incarcerated while maintaining their innocence, we see you.

For the families who continue fighting, we stand with you.

For those who have been exonerated after losing years of their lives, your freedom does not erase what was taken from you.

And for those who are still waiting for justice, we will continue saying their names.

💜 PEOPLE CHANGE. LIVES MATTER. JUSTICE REQUIRES TRUTH.

🚨 UPDATE FROM THE SEPTEMBER 16, 2026 PARDONS BOARD HEARING

STG RENUNCIATION & CLEMENCY

If your loved one is pursuing clemency and has an STG (Security Threat Group) designation, this is important information to understand early in the process.

NDOC’s STG identification and review process is addressed under NDOC Administrative Regulation 446 (AR 446) — Identification of Offenders Affiliated with Security Threat Groups and Disruptive Groups.

Information discussed at the September 16 Pardons Board hearing regarding the STG renunciation process:

1️⃣ Obtain the STG Renunciation Application from your caseworker.

2️⃣ Allow approximately 30 days for an answer/review.

3️⃣ Notification of an investigation period that may last 1–2 years.

4️⃣ Gang/STG affiliation may be monitored for up to two years.

5️⃣ The application/process is expected to become available on NDOC tablets.

6️⃣ During the process, NDOC may monitor information including phone calls, photographs, incoming and outgoing mail, GTL text messages, visits, and institutional surveillance.

📌 WHAT DOES AR 446 SAY?

AR 446.04 addresses requests for change of STG/DG status and debriefing. The regulation provides a process for an incarcerated person seeking to debrief, change their status from active to inactive, or seek removal of an STG/DG designation.

A request is initiated in writing through the caseworker and may be referred to the Inspector General’s Office for review and investigation.

AR 446.05 is especially important for clemency: STG/DG affiliation information may be disclosed in response to an official request from the Nevada Board of Pardons Commissioners or Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners.

⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS

STG status can become an important issue during the clemency process. If someone intends to pursue clemency and currently carries an STG designation, do not wait until the clemency application is complete to begin addressing it.

The renunciation, investigation, and monitoring process discussed at the September 16 hearing may take considerable time.

Start early. Get informed. Document every step. Keep copies of the application, requests, responses, and dates.

🚨 WHEN DOES A LIFE SENTENCE BECOME A SENTENCE WITHOUT HOPE?

Nevada’s post-1995 rules create an enormous barrier for people serving Life Without the Possibility of Parole (LWOP).

The Nevada Board of Pardons Commissioners’ published clemency criteria state that applications from people sentenced to death or LWOP for offenses committed after July 1, 1995 will not be considered for a commutation that allows parole. The criteria recognize limited exceptions involving extraordinary circumstances or mitigating case factors.

But this issue goes deeper than Board policy.

Under NRS 213.085, when a person was 18 or older at the time of the offense and was convicted on or after July 1, 1995, the Pardons Board is prohibited from commuting an LWOP sentence to a sentence that would allow parole. The statute treats offenses committed by people under 18 differently.

That distinction matters.

It means that for many people serving post-1995 LWOP sentences, decades of rehabilitation, education, accountability, institutional conduct, personal transformation, family support, and community readiness cannot result in the traditional form of commutation that creates parole eligibility.

At The Clemency Project of Nevada, we believe this deserves serious public discussion.

Clemency exists to provide a mechanism for mercy and individualized consideration. The question Nevada must confront is whether a sentence imposed decades ago should forever prevent meaningful consideration of the person someone has become today.

People are more than the worst thing they have ever done.
Rehabilitation should matter. Transformation should matter. Mercy should remain possible.

SHE SURVIVED. NOW SHE IS BEING PUNISHED.

Shirron Gayles-Zanders is a survivor of domestic violence who has endured not only the trauma of abuse, but the devastating consequences of a criminal legal system that failed to protect her since 2017.

Shirron maintains her factual innocence.

Her story represents the painful reality of Survived & Punished, when survivors of violence are criminalized rather than protected, believed, and given an opportunity to heal.

Shirron is more than a conviction. She is a woman, a survivor, and a human being whose life and story deserve to be heard.

The Clemency Project of Nevada stands with Shirron as she continues fighting for justice, freedom, and the opportunity to reclaim her life.

Surviving violence should never become a pathway to punishment.

Welcome home Tony Amati.

Freedom is a new beginning. Go live, grow, and embrace every moment of your second chance. 💜

09/09/2026

Today, we celebrate Tony Amati and the gift of freedom. 💜

With the support and advocacy of The Clemency Project of Nevada, Tony has been given the opportunity to move forward and begin a new chapter.

But gaining freedom is only the beginning. Life after release matters. It is about rebuilding, reconnecting with family and community, finding purpose, and making every day of freedom count.

We believe people are more than the worst moments of their lives. Second chances should come with the opportunity to truly live, grow, heal, and thrive.

Tony, enjoy your freedom. Embrace every moment. Go live your life—you’ve earned the opportunity to write your next chapter.

EMPLOYMENT IS REENTRY. EMPLOYMENT IS STABILITY. EMPLOYMENT IS A SECOND CHANCE.

Returning home after incarceration comes with enough challenges. Finding meaningful employment should not be made harder simply because someone has a past.

For returning citizens, a job is about much more than a paycheck. Employment provides stability, independence, purpose, structure, dignity, and an opportunity to rebuild. It allows people to support themselves and their families while becoming productive members of their communities.

Here in Las Vegas, there are employers, workforce programs, apprenticeship opportunities, and vocational training programs willing to work with justice-impacted individuals.

We encourage returning citizens to explore careers in:

🔹 Construction & Skilled Trades
🔹 CDL & Transportation
🔹 Welding & Fabrication
🔹 HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical
🔹 Heavy Equipment
🔹 Warehouse & Logistics
🔹 Manufacturing
🔹 Automotive Technology
🔹 Culinary & Hospitality
🔹 Registered Apprenticeships

A criminal record describes someone's past. It does not determine the limits of their future.

Second chances become meaningful when people are given real opportunities to succeed.

🎉 BIG NEWS FROM THE CLEMENCY PROJECT OF NEVADA! 🎉

We are incredibly proud to announce that The Clemency Project of Nevada has recently secured THREE spots on upcoming Nevada Board of Pardons Commissioners agendas for 2027!

For the individuals and families we serve, an opportunity to appear before the Pardons Board represents something much greater than a date on a calendar, it represents hope, recognition, and the possibility of a second chance.

Each of these cases represents countless hours of preparation, advocacy, social biography development, family participation, and a commitment to showing that people are more than the worst decision they have ever made.

We celebrate this milestone while recognizing that the work is far from finished. Now we prepare. We organize. We advocate. And most importantly, we stand beside these individuals and their families as they approach one of the most important moments of their lives.

💜 Three agenda spots. Three opportunities for mercy. Three chances for a new beginning.
