     My name is Jerard Bradley and I am a Death Row Prisoner in Waynesburg, PA.  I have been on Death Row for over 10 years and my appeals are almost all completed.  Unfortunately, they have all been denied, and it is only a matter of time before I am eventually executed.
    I do not have any family or loved ones, as all of my family members have passed away over the years while I've been incarcerated.  All of my life I've dreamed of being married, having a family, and being a good husband.  But due to my incarceration I've never been able to reach and fulfil this goal.
    And now that my life may be coming to an end soon, I may never be able to tell someone that I love them.
It is my hope however, that before I die, I can have someone in my life to express my love to, and share a part of myself with.  Because I do not want to die lonely and all alone on  Death Row without someone to care for, or someone to care about me.  I am praying that someone with a kind, loving heart will read this and understand the depth of loneliness that I am going through and write me.  I just want to have someone with whom I can express my humanity to, and share some love with before I die.  And maybe God will bless me and allow me to say "I do" before I die.
Age, race, colour or religious preference does not matter, however having a loving, kind heart does.*

* Jerard has since been moved to Pittsburgh and has this to add:

WAITING ON A LETTER THAT NEVER COMES  by Jerald Brady:

CLICK-the outside door opens, most everyone quietly slides over to their cell doors, peeping out to see if its mailcall. But its only the Sergaent making his rounds. No one really wants to  be seen looking out of their doors at mailtime, that would be acknowledging their anticipation or trepidation.

CLICK-theres the outside door again, damn, its only the block workers with cleaning utensils. Where's the guard with the mail? The same thoughts run through my mind each day around this time when the mail is scheduled to come around with the mail.

Does anybody love me, did anyone think about me this week, did my penpal in Ireland or England set aside 15 minutes of their time to let me know I'm in their thoughts? Does
anyone out there even care that I'm sitting here locked away in a small cage suffering all manner of inhumane indignities? Is someone gonna remember me today?

CLICK- there's the outside door again, somebody yells out the elusive world: MAILCALL. And like little children who eagerly await the new dawn of Christmas morning to tear open their presents, we grown men race to the door full of anticipation and anxiety - hoping upon hope that the mailman would be gracious and show me some love today.

But alas, I get another drive by, and I think to myself - oh  well, maybe tomorrow I'll get something. But deep in my heart I feel the painful sting of disappointment as I realise it's been another day in this living hell hole, that I've been waiting on a letter that never comes.
