JERRY HAMMOND I am a 47 yr. old
black
male on Alabama's death row. I am a down to Earth
person, and as far as what
I'd like to say to a pen pal would be pretty much whatever fits
the meeting of the minds in conversation. I hope I will have
some luck in finding someone sincere for a pen pal. Respectfully
Yours...

GARY HART Dear
Reader, thanks for being part of the movement to abolish the Death
Penalty, and reaching
out to the men on the row nationwide. I'm writing because I'm in
great need of your services. I've been incarcerated since '89 and I'm
only 26 years old. And really
alone for the first time in my life. My mother and sister were with me for as long
as they could be considering the stress. Right now I can't get
anyone to even send
me a watch battery or stamps. The prison warden has gotten so
tight
on security that its impossible to hustle or carry your own
weight. After ten years of this crap I fully realize that I'm
more likely to die here than not, so at least I don't want to suffer anymore than I have
to. I need
a friend! Old or young that is willing to help me through this hell. I'm
openminded and willing to listen to your problems but lets not depress
each other
all the
time.
We can discuss all topics and assist the other with getting over bumps
in the road of life. Honestly I'd prefer a woman that I can
love as a man can love a woman. But in my situation I can't be
unrealistic.
From the beginning
I 'm making it known that I do not want anyone thats not serious.
I can understand when it takes a week or two to respond but not
all the time. I'm really lonely. Once again, thanks for
doing
your part in this struggle. In time the system will change and there
will
be "justice for all." I have nothing to hide, so I'll answer
all questions that you can
throw
at me. How else are we to know one another? Or you can do
the
research
yourself!
Peace! Visit homepage at : http://ccadp.org/garyhart.htm

JOSEPH HOOKS I'm 33 yr. old, I'm a white male and I've been on
death row for 10yrs. Any other information about being on
death row can be obtained by the asking. What I'm looking
for in a pen pal is someone who's serious about writing, being open
minded, and doesn't mind helping someone. I would
like for it
to be a female, and single, and really age doesn't matter as long
as they care about where I'm at, and just how serious things have become in
my life. I will answer all letters written, and
really expect the same from you unless told otherwise. Take
care
and thanks for your love and concern, very truly Joseph P.S. All
letters to
me must
contain all information and return address.

SHONELLE JACKSON
I'm on Alabama's D/Row, I've been here since 1998. I do a lot of things
to pass the time, and keep my mind off my current situation. I enjoy
all sports, love basketball, I play it daily here, and lift weights
every now and then. Writing poetry I feel is a talent of mine, or more
so expressing myself through words. Reading I enjoy, nothing in
particular, anything thats interesting enough to finish! Listening to
music I enjoy, I'm a hip hop R&B person, everything from Tupac
& 50 Cent to Usher & Marvin Gaye, music help soothe the mind
more times than not. What
I'm in search of, well, I'm not a very picky person, all I ask for is
"REALNESS!" Someone who'll be a devoted and loyal friend, thats
truthful, understanding and open minded, but with an opinion of their
own. Age isn't a concern of mine, nor is gender or race. If you can be
this friend then holla at me, lets explore the unknown....I ask of only
the things I can give in return, comfort, understanding, devotion,
honesty and insight. So
if you need someone to share your thoughts with, that'll listen and
give feedback, one that isn't judgemental, then write to me, lets not
prolong it any longer than the postal service would, with getting to
know one another. Being lonely isn't healthy, trust me I know. So if
you're down, I'm down to develop the bond that'll make us a team....My
physical description - I'm 6 feet, 1 inch, weigh 203 pounds, brown eyes
and shiny black wavy hair. I was born May 30th, 1977. I'm from
Montgomery Alabama. The Capital city of Alabama. Some
rules to know before writing....Your return address must be on the
outside of the envelope you use at all times. You can send photos, no
more than 8 photos per letter. I'll surely appreciate at least one
photo of you if you grant my request of your friendship. Postage is
also allowed and at times will be needed, it'll surely assure you a
response quicker once its not certain I'll have posted to respond right
away all the time. Well
I guess I'll bring this to an end, but before I do, I must thank you
for taking the time to read this request of mine. I'm looking forward
to hearing from you, learning more about you, and sharing more about
myself, and there is plenty to share. But as of now I'l leave you with
a poem of mine that was written some time ago....Take
care, be EAZY out there in the world, and know things in life happen
for different reasons, everything is an experience. Sincerely...For

JAMES JOHNSON Hi , My name
is James Johnson. I am a 26 years old black male.
With
strong belief in Jesus Christ and my spirituality. Who has
nothing to hide about my past, present and goals that I would like to
accomplish in the future. I am innocent of the crime that
has placed me on death row. I can prove what I say with factual
information. Although I am innocent that makes me no better
than any man or woman on death row, in prison or out in society. Since
I have been placed on death row I have co-founded an organization
called Stevie and death row growth and development along with Mr.
Willie Minor and Mr. Ulysses Snead, our founder is Mrs. Stephanie
Smith. I enjoy writing articles against capital punishment and
injustice. I also like meaningful poetry, meditation, working
out, and anything that stretches my mind to its fullest
capabilities. I would like to communicate with someone who
is dedicated to what they believe in, who is determined to accomplish
what they feel is their goal in life, and who is
humbly seeking to hear God when he's speaking. I love
spiritual and intelligent conversation. No matter what we
choose to talk about. If you would like to converse with me, you
can
write me at the address below. . . I'm Waiting.

BILL
KUENZEL I would be pleased to share,
would welcome any advice, help, or thoughts. As well as a
friendship. I only
have my friendship
to offer. I am well travelled, I enjoy music of all kinds (except
rap),
reading, long talks, as I
am
very open minded. I am locked in a 5x9 cell 23 hours a day, taken
away
from those I love
and adore for no reason. I am open, honest, easy going. I
have written some poetry, a couple of which was published in England. I
believe
writing is a form of exposing ones true self. While some say
writing
is a dying
art,
for someone in my situation I believe it is time to revive the art,
maybe
my right to life as well. It is said the eyes are the window to the soul, well words
are
the gateway to the heart, words that are shared between friends allow us to
open
our hearts. When two people are true friends they can feel each
others
happiness as well as
sadness.
This should be shared openly and honestly, as friendship /
relationships
can only be
built
on a Foundation of Trust, Faith and honesty because sincerity can only
come
from within and we all need that someone to share our dreams, hopes, desires, and fears
with.
Life is too short and uncertain to travel through life alone and our time
is
much more valuable if we invest it in others. I have a theory
that
each time a new
friendship / relationship is formed we become a better person. If
you are interested in a true friend please
contact me by mail.
A friend is waiting. Visit Bill's page at: http://ccadp.org/billkuenzel.htm
