CHARLES NEALY
My
name is Charles Nealy, I'm 35 years of age, a native Texan.
I've been here on death row in Texas since December 15th, 1998. What
I'm
desperately in need of at the present is someone to correspond with,
and
possibly be helped out spiritually. I love to read, the last book
I completed was "Sophie's World," written by Jostein Gaarder, it dealt
with philosophy. I did attend college, my major was sociology,
and
other courses were psychology and art. My attention has been
focused
solely
on
my appeal, and what is needed is a friend, someone willing to be my
pen pal then perhaps a dear friend. At the moment I do not have any pen
friends, I just got here, and its a perfect start for someone on the
outside,
and myself to begin at the "beginning."

ROBERT NEVILLE
Hello, my name is Robert Neville. I am currently on death row and
have
been here for 2 years. I spend my time reading, writing, and
praying
that one day I will be able to hold my 11 year old daughter once
again. I am begging for help ! I need help
legally, financially,
and personally. Financially, my family is unable to pay for
funeral costs and sufficient legal help. The money you send will
go toward funeral costs, legal help ... All I need is help and a
friend. My mother will be collecting funds for my legal
fees
and funeral costs. So please help if you can.... Visit Webpage for more info

If you'd like to be a pen
friend I would appreciate that also. Sincerely,
Robert

ABEL OCHOA Greetings,
My name is Abel R Ochon, and unfortunately I am writing this letter
from Death Row. I am 30 years old and was born in Mexico, and
when I was 3 years old my dad brung me and my brothers here to Texas.
I grew up out in the country til I was 17, then we moved to the
big city of Dallas. In this city is where my life changed
dramatically; on the day of August 4, 2002, is when I got arrested.
I was 29 when I got arrested. This is my first time ever being
arrested. My case went to trial in April 2003, and unfortunately
even though this is my first time ever being arrested, I was sentenced
to the harshest punishment under Texas laws, the Death Penalty.
So after being free for 30 years of my life, being able to enjoy
all the good things of the world. Now I sit here confined in a
cell thats 10ft x 7 ft, very very small. Each day that goes by is
a battle won for me, its another day that I kept from going insane.
On August 7, 2002, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and
Saviour, and I can honestly say that God has given me the strength to
overcome each day, God has given me comfort in my time of need.
Sometimes it gets real, real lonely , not having no one to talk
to. I have learned so much about life in the free world
and also life on Death Row. I am looking for a pen-pal who I can
talk about my experiences in life, and in return listen to someone
else's experiences. Here are a few things I liked to do out in
the world when I was free, fishing, walking in the park, jogging, play
football, and anything to do with nature.
Thank you. God Bless You , For more information visit

KENNY PARR
HELLO My name is Kenny Parr currently on death row for having a lack of
legal knowledge and falling victim to the games of Texas Justice System
and for a crime I am very innocent of! Unfortunately in the State of
Texas we have a major problem within our justice system called
"Political
Power"
- using the destitute, the weak and the oppressed to move
greedily towards their own political and financial acquire! Upon
reading
this letter, I ask one thing of you! that is to read this letter with
an open mind as well as heart. I was convicted of capital murder
on June 4th, 1999 at 2:15 in a Brasporia County court house, away from
the county from which it happened - Bay City, TX, my home
town,
a
crime in which I had no reason to commit or even knew about. I
was sent to Death Row a year and 5 months later. Unlike some
individuals, I'm very young - 19 yrs old - Jan. 16, 1980. I am
very young I know and wish to live a long and normal life and I'm
trying with all effort to acquire the sufficient financial support to
obtain the right equipment to help me prove my innocence. I will
need financial support to help me with all my efforts. Any
contributions that are made on my behalf will be very much appreciated
and put to good use. If it is in the kindness of your heart to help a
person you have never met or spoken to, please help me. The
reason for my asking od donations is that any and all money will be put
into a legitimate legal defense fund that will help put together the
right representation that will prove my innocence! All my life
I've been judged in the eyes of the law, my friends, racist individuals
and even my own family. As I see myself growing up, I see myself
as a rose growing from out of the concrete,
yeah! I might have a broken stem and a few dead leaves! but I've
grown out of the concrete! No one sees how awesome or how
much strength it took to grow! What I am saying is as a child I
may have lived in a poor place and have done wrong to survive, but as
soon as I come close to achieving my goals - finishing High School -
everything goes wrong and the first thing that comes to mind - look
where he's from! stop looking at the bad and start looking inside for
the good! If any questions are asked me or about me, I will answer
truthfully. With all due respect! I hope to get some
support from an unknown friend with a kind heart and soul! Thank You!!

male. I'm about 5'10" and 155 lbs, with gentleman way ! My
looks can be a plus but I want you to know me and like me for ME, and

ROY LEE
PIPPIN I
need assistance yesterday, last week, last year. Can you help me
or point me in the direction
of someone who will ? . . . Time is running out. I have copies of
my direct appeal brief, state writ, supplemental writ, transcript of
trial,
and anything else concerning my case. I need someone that will
fight
for me before it is too late. Any records they would need should
be
easily accessible. Once again, time is
of
the essence. My writ has been in front of the state for three and
a
half years. It could be ruled on at any minute. Roy

ARNOLD
PRIETO
My name is
Arnold Prieto. I am a 26 year old who's been on death row for the
past
5 years of my life. They tell me there are people who care for us
here on death row, out there in the free world ? Something I
rarely
recognize and thought possible, they tell me I wouldn't know till I
tossed
the dice to see what Chance has in store for me. I guess it
wouldn't
hurt to throw a toss. I am a lover of books. I love to read
but haven't read a good book ever since the Ellis Unit closed its
library
to us here on Death Row. I am learning to draw, something that
brings
me great joy. I like to believe myself to be an open minded
person
towards anything the human mind might bring up. I seek a friend
whom
might be over the age of 25, an older man or woman. I guess this
is
it. What did I roll ? With respects

JOHN QUINTANILLA JR
Dear Reader, Hello, my name is John Manuel
Quintanilla Jr. I am 28 years of age. I have been here on the Texas
Death Row since January 07, 2005 and I must say it is really going to
take the man in me to overcome the depression this place installs in a
person. I am looking for someone who wouldn't mind being my
friend,
to help me overcome my predicament. I am facing the Death Sentence but
I am fighting it. I have never given up in anything and I won't give up
now. Although sometimes I feel as if I can't do it on my own and things
start piling up. I'm asking for someone to be my penpal or friend on
pen and paper to talk and write or help pass the time, and help me to
forget all my problems. There is so much negativity in this place, and
if I could have a friend it would put a positive light to this place.
I'm asking that anyone who reads this might take sometime to write me.
I will answer all questions and write back to anyone who writes. I'm
only looking for a little conversation and a chance to build a
friendship. Thank you for reading my introduction letter and I hope to
hear from you.
Sincerely
John

CHARLES RABY Dear Friend, Please consider dropping
me a line. I am a Texas Death Row inmate reaching out for a lifeline to
the world. I am a truly good person at heart. I would like to share
with
you my life of 30 years and how I've ended up here. I'd like us to
become
a real part of each other's lives. Please take this opportunity for us
to become friends. I have very little contact with the outside
world.
It's even hard for my family to come to see me. Your friendship would
mean
the world to me. Please take the chance to make a new friend.
Hobbies
& Interests: I like drawing, Classical Literature, History,
Philosophy
(Plato, Dostoevesky), Poetry, Art and Social Issues. Musically, I'm
into
Classical Rock, The Blues, and Jazz. Occupation: I am a
sandblaster and painter. Please note that Charles Raby, has been
wrongfully convicted, and new information has come to light to prove
that DNA testing eliminated him from the scene of the crime. That two
state witnesses perjured themselves under oath to assist the prosecutor
to obtain a death penalty. In addition, new potential witnesses will be
called, if a new hearing can be arranged, to refute the perjury of
those at the first trial. Presently, much needed financial support is
extremely welcome. Please use the email address provided MWluvsMM2000@aol.com
if you would like to assist his family prevent this potential tragedy.

RODNEY RACHAL Hi,
I'm
Rodney Rachal. My friends call me B Down. I'm 33, born April 29th 1970.
"Taurus the Bull". I'm 5ft10, 194lbs, dark eyes with black hair. I was
tried and convicted of several execution style murders in October1992.
I'm currently housed in a supermax control unit, locked in a cell 23/7,
which I'd call a concrete tomb. This is an especially dark and lonesome
place
for me due to the fact that my eyesight is failing. I once had many
hobbies:
pastimes such as reading, chess, drawing, doing crafts, etc. Now I'm
unable
to do any of these things because I can't see well enough and due to
the
fact that prison administrators have taken most of these things away
from
us in the name of security. However I can still write and read letters
if
the print is large enough. So I'm hoping to find a penpal who can write
me
often. Hoping for someone who can have patience with me and whom I can
learn
to trust through sharing. Someone to hold my heart through these awful
times I am forced to live with. The state has long portrayed me as a
bad
guy, violent and uncaring. But it's not true. I possess all the
emotional
capabilities of any "normal" person. Prison is such a harsh and stark
place,
I would give anything for a hug, some affection or love. This place is
designed
to break a man mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Although many
times
I have thought of growing up my soul yet endures. I have to find
someone
who can help me keep my tenuous grip on life and sanity. No one can
ever
imagine how lonely it is here or how isolated it makes one feel. Please
someone bring some light into my life.

LUIS RAMIREZ
I
have been falsely accused and wrongfully convicted... I have been on
death row since about May 1999. I am 36 years old.
I have been married twice and twice divorced. I have 3 beautiful
children. I have 2 sons and
a daughter. I love
them very much... they are the center of my universe. My very existence
revolves around them. I am a very
devoted father. I am from West Texas. I am hispanic. I am a
veteran. I served for about
9 years in the military. I have traveled around quite a
bit. I have lived abroad before. I was stationed in the Philippines for 3 years, and I loved
it. I have a wide variety of interests. I am definitely a
people person. Among my
interests, one is to meet people. I enjoy travel. I love music of all
styles. I play volleyball. I try to keep myself physically
fit. I enjoy learning the languages, customs, and courtesies of
other countries. I also enjoy
sampling
the foods and drinks from other places. I am a very
upbeat person. You could say that I am a terminal optimist as well as a hopeless
romantic. Even here on death row I always
try to find a bright side to things.
I
have a zestful love for life. Everyday that I awake to me is
another day to seek out happiness and enjoy life... I try to maintain a healthy
sense of humor. I am a student of the school of hard
knocks. So everyday I try to learn
something
new, and hopefully what I learn will enhance my life.
Or the lives of those I care about. I have
a wonderful host of family and
friends
who have not left my side through this whole crisis. I am not a bad person. I am
surely
not a murderer. In fact, before this nightmare entered my
life I had no
criminal
record at all. I'm a Christian
and
I have a very strong faith. I'm not going to elaborate much
on my beliefs. Just
suffice it to say that I believe
very very
strongly. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and God bless.

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
