ANIBAL CANALES Greetings ! I'm a 37 yr. old
Mexican-American male, presently on Death Row. My name is Anibal
Canales, #999366
- and I was condemned to die on Nov. 2, 2000, for the death of a fellow
inmate here in the Texas prison system ! I was falsely accused by
inmates. And it was only inmate testimony that placed me here
! No DNA - No
fingerprints - NOT ONE (1) guard saw / or
testified against me
!!! I wasn't even in the area !! I had guards testify for
me, to no avail !!! I NEED HELP!!! I need help.
I have no family, so this is my cry for help !! I need people who
can help me with - supplies - legal books - funds - and some time to
help. If you are a person who watches someone drown, then this is
not for you !! I
don't need witnesses to my death I need people who can help me swim to
safety !!! Please don't waste my few years with just 'moral
support'
letters... Help me turn this around or don't write at all
!!!
I need a lifeline, is it you ?! Have questions ? I'll
answer
them !!! Thank you ! Anibal Canales Jr. More Info

iHola! (Hi!) My friends call me Roy. I've been on
death row only a short time. I love sports, drawing, nature,
writing and reading, so can I hear from you? Lately I have been
busy on my appeal and will ask if there are compassionate individuals
who may be able to help (financially) it will be truly appreciated,
however its not necessary. I would still love to hear from you
and if you don't mind, live free once again through your daily
experiences and thoughts. I really do hope to hear from you
soon! Visit Rogelio's webpage at: http://ccadp.org/rogeliocannady.htm

PETER CANTU Aug 2005 My name is Peter Cantu and I'm a deathrow
prisoner writing this letter in order to reach out to the world for a
hand in friendship,with the tremendous hopes that some out there will
accept my friendship during this time of tribulation.
I'm a 30 year Hispanic and I like
reading fictional novels, newsapers, magazines, and listening to any
good music. I also enjoy sports and I exercise everyday. I'm normally a
quiet person but I do like to engage in good intellectual conversation.
I seek anyone who is
non-judgemental, open minded, and honest which are mutual traits that I
reciprocate willingly because honesty is a foundation to lasting
friendships. I live in a world of darkness and desolatin but refuse to
allow the negative to swallow me up. This is a world of confinement for
23 hours a day but its your letter that humanize, where the Texas
officials have sought to dehumanize me. Its your letters that light
this world of darkness and brings forth smiles in a place where smiles
shouldn't exist. When you reach forth across a vast ocean thousands of
miles away, in an effort to bring friendship, you in essence actually
pull a man out of the abyss. I'm not sure what tomorrow may bring byt
today is well within my grasp. In the midst of lifes most chaotic
storm, its your friendship that makes me even stronger as I stand in
the storm. So I beseech you, with an open heart to please take a moment
of your precious time and send me your lines of friendship which will
be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in reading this letter
and I truly hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Peter

DAVID CARPENTER I really could use someone to write to. I
have just received the death penalty for a crime I did not commit.
It is
hard for me to believe that they can do this. I could never do
what
I have been accused
of. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm 31 years old,
single,
I have three daughters. I like writing and drawing, country and
classic rock
music, fishing or just being outdoors. Would like sharing
interests with others. Will answer all letters. Sincere thanks,

RICH
CARTWRIGHT
I'm a 29 year old male who was born and spent 24 years in the beautiful
city of Chicago. I came down
to Texas at the age of 25 and was on Texas death row one year
later.
I am looking for an open minded person to correspond and hopefully
build
a meaningful friendship, with. Death row can be a very lonely and
depressing place and reaching out to someone in the free world is one
of very few ways to escape the mental and physical torment. When
I was in the free
world I made my living as an automobile technician. I had many
hobbies
such as building muscle cars, riding motorcycles, fishing, walking on
the
beach at night, listening to rock and roll, and playing hockey. As
a
matter of fact in 1984 through 1988 the hockey team I played for out of
Chicago (The Huskies) were invited to play in the friendship tournament
in Kitchener Canada. I also played for a triple A hockey team in
1988
that made it to the Silver Stick tournament in Ottawa Canada !! I
don't
recall the name of the river in Kitchener, but it was froze over and we
all
went skating down the river and the sides were covered with absolutely
beautiful
ice sculptures. Maybe I should of moved to Canada instead of Texas
!
HA HA! Thank you for your time and concern. Visit webpage

KARL CHAMBERLAIN
Currently on Texas Death Row for 1 year, white, age 26,
brown hair,
large build.
Interests: Reading, computers, dungeons and dragons,
renaissance festivals, writing poetry. One of the most profound
joys of living is that Life (or God) can often surprise you. With the
systemic, intentional reduction of Man to crushing routine,
dehumanizing humiliations, and confining barriers of Hatred and
Condemnation (which are harder than the concrete and steel) one is
forced to wait with eager anticipation for the mouth of the grave, to
swallow us up as an escape from this Hell on Earth. Or, perhaps, wait
with fervent faith the Earth Shaking Miracle which will split this
prison open to the sky, allowing a Man to walk out thankfully
triumphant, with
each agonizing step, to tearfully joyous freedom. Or, occasionally,
with
the inescapable responsibility of past actions, the crushing Love for
all
humanity, and the weight of this struggle for some type of
restorative
Justice, some blend of just Justice and heartfelt Mercy that sings to
the
Soul sweet songs of redemption, a different Earth Shaking, Miraculous
Escape
occurs: The Heart of a Man, bound in chains, cracks and splits open,
and
as each shard of Self falls away, the Glorious Light, that is God,
spills
through, freeing Life beyond life. This is part of me, part of what I
am,
yet the Struggle also continues, for those that are continually harmed
by
the Juggernaut of Death that our system prefers, perhaps because of
Political
or Sociological reasons, or, perhaps, the blind misguided perceptions
of
the all too human people that drive our Society. Also I am a poet, a
writer,
a dreamer, a romantic, a Man who is in love with every aspect of Life,
and
this funny creature called Man (and Woman) that inhabits it. I
love
God, People,Nature, Music, Reading, Cooking, and being totally Real
with
those who dare to do the same. I meet and Accept people as they
are
and expect a measure of the same. I am unable to provide for
myself
(and do not want to overburden my mother who still has 6 children at home) so I accept
from people what they want (and are able) to give. Sometimes that
is a few photocopies or heartfelt letters, sometimes it is more,
especially as it is becoming increasingly clear that for Truth, in our
"justice system" one must bring money. Yet, if you desire to
write, for any reason, simply be Yourself, and do so. For Love,
For Light, For Laughter, For Life,

KENNETH RAY CLARK
My conviction is based
entirely on circumstantial evidence. I
was sentenced to death on hearsay evidence, along with an eyewitness,
who
identified my son minutes after the robbery, but with help from a Lt.
police
officer, changed his mind saying number three of the five peoples in
the
lineup look like the robbery. All together changed his story 6
times.
I'm looking for any help anyone can offer please ?

CHRISTOPHER COLEMAN As your eyes view these words I am currently confined within
the SILENCE and SECRECY of a Texas Death flow prison cell. My
name is
Christopher B. Coleman, I am a 27 year old Black Man! I have been
incarcerated
for four years. I was born December 28, 1971, in Houston, Texas. I
spend
the Quiet time in my prison cell with a SERENE mind working on my case,
reading Philosophy and writing letters. Other then being able to leave
my
cell for 2 hours a day, five days a week to recreate,,, some days
get very DULL. Most individuals think of Ones who have been sentenced
to
death by a state or government as the lowest of society. But, a lot of
the
times, probably a majority, that is not the case. "I" am HUMAN
!!!!,,,and
so is EVERYBODY else on Death Row. As a brother in this Struggle for
LIFE
and FREEDOM, I feel it is my "duty" to help Educate the
masses
on the wrought justice system that promotes the death penalty as a
majority
for the poor and minorities! I
am interested in meeting individuals with UNDERSTANDING and OPENNESS of
CHARACTER. So, if you feel the need or desire to write then please
contact
me at:Visit webpage for more information at: http://ccadp.org/christophercoleman.htm

Meet The Texecutioner
President George W. Bush
President Select George W. Bush - 155
People Killed so far... More
than any other elected official in US History!
President George W Bush is responsible for 155 Homicides !
In a 1998 letter
to Texas Governor George Bush, Alan Donnelly, Chairman
of the European
Parliament's Delegation for Relations, wrote the following:
"We understand that
this is a complex and emotive issue, and I do not propose to rehearse
here the arguments that, for us, make legal execution unacceptable
under any circumstances. Suffice it to say that we believe the death
penalty amounts to retribution rather than deterrence and that its use
always carries with it the risk that an innocent person may die. We understand also that it takes courage to stand
above murderers and terrorists and say 'we reject your methods and
refuse to take them as our own. That said,
we are concerned that the almost universal repugnance felt in Europe
and
elsewhere
for the continued
application of the death penalty in certain American states may also
have economic consequences. Europe is the foremost foreign investor in
Texas. Many companies, under pressure
from
shareholders and public opinion to apply ethical business
practices are beginning to consider
the
possibly of restricting investment in the US to states
that do not apply the death penalty." 06/25/98
