Thank you. Haytham Faraj Sent from my iPhone Judge Edmunds will recommend designation

Subject:
Hamama request
for a designation
Dear Ms. Hemeyer,
This is a request for a designation of
a region and facility for Mr. Hamama.
Mr. Hamama respectfully requests that the
court designate a minimum security -Federal Prison Camp- in the San Diego
or Los Angeles areas and a if such a facility is not available that Mr.
Hamama be assigned to a Residential Reentry Center (RRC). See
18 U.S.C 3621(b)(4). Mr. Hamama declined to request that the court
make a designation during sentencing so that he may research the
available facilities and discuss the options and criteria for assignment
to a particular facility with his counsel so that he may determine those
that are best suited to achieve the objective of sentencing without undue
hardship on he and his family.
Mr. Hamama requests a facility that is
reasonably close to his home in San Diego, CA, where his wife will reside
alone. Mr. Hamama also requests that the facility provide training
and vocational programs that will provide Mr. Hamama with training that
will enable him to obtain employment upon release. Mr. Hamama is 61 years
old and a convicted felon. It is unlikely that he will be able to
successfully compete for employment upon release unless he can demonstrate
a unique skill or training in a vocation. Mr. Hamamaâs employer
will not hold his current job for him until he is released.
Employment post release will be critical to allow Mr. Hamama to reintegrate
into society. Employment will also contribute to his ability to find housing
and to provide for his family. It is expected that Mr. and Mrs. Hamama
will lose their home to the bank in the next 60-90 days. Mrs. Hamama will
have to live with relatives. While she is currently employed as a
teacher's assistant her salary is meager and insufficient to enable her
to pay for a home without Mr. Hamama's income. Accordingly, any skill
or training that Mr. Hamama can learn that will assist him in obtaining
employment will enable Mr. and Mrs. Hamama to rebuild their lives without
relying on government of private assistance.
Being at a facility near San Diego is critically important to avoid a greater
hardship than necessary. Mrs. Hamama is very dependent on Mr. Hamama. His
long absences while serving in Iraq with the U.S. Armed Forces have caused
her to become intensely protective and very attached to him. Custody in
a facility that is not reasonably close to San Diego will enhance the punishment
and hardship on Mr. and Mrs. Hamama, more than necessary to achieve the
purposes of punishment.
Mr. Hamama respectfully requests that the court recommend a Federal Prison
Camp, in the San Diego or Los Angeles areas. If and FPC is not available,
Mr. Hamama respectfully requests an RRC.
Very respectfully submitted,
Haytham Faraj, Esq.
