The 33 months have taken a toll on Mark Fogel's mental and emotional health, where many other younger individuals in Russian penal colonies can have great hope for decades of life after their full sentences. Mark Fogel would be almost 75 years old by the end of his current 14-year prison sentence. I'm hopeful that Russia, seeing the time that Mark has already served and fully aware of his terribly declining health, will release Mark from prison on humanitarian grounds so that he may return to his family in Pennsylvania.
