Sign the Petition for the Compassionate Release of Deven M. Rogers Now!
To: Warden David Anderson, Red Onion State Prison
Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC)
Governor Glenn Youngkin, Office of the Governor of Virginia
State Senator Todd E. Pillion
State Delegate Terry G. Kilgore
We, the undersigned, respectfully demand the immediate compassionate release of Deven M. Rogers (State Number: 1412613) from Red Onion State Prison.
Deven is suffering from a severe medical condition, Crohn’s disease, which has led to multiple life-threatening health crises while incarcerated. He has experienced repeated bowel ruptures, been placed on a colostomy bag, and found unresponsive due to the lack of adequate medical care inside the facility.
Deven currently has approximately three to four years remaining on his sentence. Prolonged incarceration under these dangerous conditions presents a severe and unnecessary risk of irreversible harm or death. Every human being — regardless of circumstance — deserves access to adequate medical care, dignity, and compassion.
Additionally, Deven’s family has been repeatedly denied critical updates on his condition and visitation, intensifying concerns for his safety and well-being.
Given the serious nature of his illness and the inhumane conditions he faces, we believe that granting Deven compassionate release is a moral, humane, and necessary act.
We call on the Warden, the Virginia Department of Corrections, Governor Youngkin, and Virginia’s elected representatives to act immediately to save Deven’s life and allow him the chance to receive the specialized medical treatment he urgently needs outside of prison walls.
We stand together in support of Deven M. Rogers and his family.
