On November 21, 2008 Jonathan Pollard entered his 24th year of a life sentence for his activities on behalf of Israel.
The median sentence for the offense Pollard committed - one count of passing classified information to an ally - is 2 to 4 years. Pollard received his life sentence without a trial, as a result of a plea bargain which he honored and the U.S. government violated.

Comment by the artist, Yaacov Kirschen (Dry Bones):
When he left office in January 2001, President Clinton refused clemency to Jonathan Pollard,in spite of his repeated express commitments to Israel to free Pollard in return for numerous heavy concessions, in spite of his commitment to free Pollard as an integral part if the Wye Accords and in spite of the grotesque injustices of the Pollard case which includes a grossly disproportionate sentence. Will Obama's team do something? Will President Bush? Will American Jews find the courage to speak up at last?
