Despite a plea agreement which intended Martorano to serve 10 years in prison, A federal judge ignored the plea agreement and sentenced George Martorano to serve a life sentence with no parole for his first-time, non-violent offense.

Mr. Martorano is the longest serving first-time, non-violent offender in the history of America. Despite the circumstances surrounding George Martorano's living conditions over the last 23 years, he has overcome, raised above and far exceeded expectations by educating himself, maintaining a healthy positive mental attitude and teaching and counseling hundreds of inmates over the years.
