Greetings, To whomever it may concern. Greetings from a place where torture does exist... Texas Death Row! It gives me great pleasure to be able to share my inundate love for the human race with you.  As one can tell from the opening of my letter I am currently on Texas Death Row searching for that unconditional love that I have longed for; for over 30 years. So many other human beings want this type of love too, but are scared of being hurt. The only thing that exists within my world is love! Without love I am not complete as a person. I accept love from all races. love has no shape, color, or form. It starts and ends with the heart. If anyone wishes to drop me a few lines that deal with love and unconditional love. I will respond to all letters. Please relax yourself, allow me to take you on a journey of the unknown...First and foremost, my name is Jimmy Jackson. I am of African decent. I was born January 20, 1967 1 have light brown eyes and hair. I have a caramel complexion. My interests and pursuits include writing love poems, reading love poems, and indulging in intelligent conversation.  I am a very open-minded person, and I choose not to judge one's actions. I am a compassionate and caring person, I express my emotions and sentiments without any reservations. I would like for my pen-friends) to do the same. In my own humble opinion, I am a vary interesting person and you will agree after writing to me. You will not be disappointed. At all times, regardless of the situation at hand, I will always give you the utmost respect, and showing immense love in each epistle that I write. Do not judge a book by it's cover; open up the book and read the words, hear me. Words without meaning and emotion, they mean nothing at all! All my words contain meaning and come straight from the heart! In closing I would like to leave you with these powerful words:   When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow men, regardless of race, color or creed shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brotherhood until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the same sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.

INSIDE ZULU WARRIOR KING ICY RED'S WORLD Click: You have entered the world of Zulu Warrior King Icy Red's world. Click: The door is locked, the only way out is through death by the legalized needle! For death is reality, this world isn't built on fiction nor fantasy, as you continue to read this particular article, you will plainly see how real death is and how inhumane this plantation truly works. Oh Yes retardation does exist within these walls of death. You have many people that exist within the walls of death that have the mentality of a 2 or 8 year old child. Some still exist and some have been murdered by this amuck establishment that has absolutely no compassion for the human race; especially the ones that exist within the walls of death. It's truly a shame to see a few comrades one has known for years go insane due to the fact they can't handle the situation at hand, the torture that's present in our everyday life! Oh without a doubt there are a lot of officers that work within this modern-day plantation that would like to murder us themselves, if the opportunity presented itself! There's a lot of hate amongst convicts and officers, due to the fact most don't treat us as human beings regardless of the circumstances of ones case. They will read an article on a persons case and become prejudice against them without knowing the whole truth, then hold a personal hatred toward that individual even though that's not a part of their job description, but that's life in Icy Red's world. At one time in my life existence I demanded respect and to be treated as a human being by all people working for the system and I still desire to have that same respect bestowed upon my being, but I used an intelligent approach rather than a radical or violent approach in all situations. I lived on F-Pod for almost 2 years and used to assault officers on a daily basis by any means necessary and there were a few comrades that would do the same. The point to our resistance was to prove that we were humans and wanted to be treated as such and in return, we would treat them (the officers) the same way, feces were thrown at them, we would get gassed because of it, etc.. For all living souls that has principles and self-respect, must stand their ground as human beings, we want to be treated as humans not as something less than human, we are not trash, we are humans that have feelings, compassion for others etc. This is hard to comprehend but this is Red's World. Even though you can't put yourself in my position or another comrades position, try to understand our situation as a whole, we are one and the same we are the human race, regardless of color, race or creed. In some cases animals get better treatment than us, that's ludicrous in my opinion, but remember this is Red's World. Let's attempt to get a greater understanding of what the word kill means to you? Then after pondering about that, ask yourself is there a difference between murder and kill? The State calls us murderers and calls themselves killers. This is how I see it. The (State) use the word kill to be more professional and feel very comfortable using the word to murder humans that exist on the row. Kill 1. To cause the death of, slay. 2. to destroy, extinguish. 3. to spend (Time) unprofitably. 4. Informal to cause discomfort to. Murder the unlawful killing of a person, especially when deliberate or premeditated. 2. Informal - something very difficult, dangerous, or unpleasant. 3. To kill by an act constituting murder. 4. To spoil or mar through incompetence; 5. To defeat thoroughly. We death row persons are considered murderers when the State or Government is considered killers. To my understanding deliberate or premeditated murder is what got 99% of us on death row, so basically the State is doing the same thing they have given us death for, but they state what they are doing is legal, not in Red's World! It's been 18 long years since I've held my loved ones in a tender yet loving embrace, oh without a doubt it's very hard on my being, but I have the strength to live until the creator sees fit to end my life existence, for no man can end my life only the Almighty, for I keep the faith and remain strong and uplift the humans that live within Red's World for we all have our own world, but you have entered Red's World! This is just another big holocaust, and there's a lot of animosity towards this corrupt system that continued to murder innocents, the retarded, the insane and all these folks do exist within the walls of death. This is Zulu Warrior King Icy Red's World. Do you feel me? Nothing is more unbearable than watching a dead man walking every single day but this is reality in Icy Red's World, but you don't feel me. It takes a strong mentality to survive within this amuck system, for every day that passes, one loses a little bit of ones self through all this madness. Some don't realize it, but it's there but most will admit that all their sanity is intact; but that's nothing but a mendacity and they are afraid to accept the reality, but this only happens in Red's World! This is just a small part of my world and it's to be continued but this is Red's World.

                                          PLEASE HELP!

    TRUST FUND JIMMY JACKSON
 

To those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself: My birth name is Johnny Ray Carter but I am under the death sentence under the alias name of Jimmy Jackson. All my friends and associates call me Jonny. I am a 30 year old African American.

Before I get into the facts which surround my capital conviction, I would like to say that I've spent the last 13 years of my young life incarcerated. I've spent the last 12 years on ,,Death Row" in Huntsville, Texas.

At the age of 17, I was accused of murdering an African American man during a robbery. Here are some of the facts of my case. I was an uneducated young boy living in a man's world. I was poor and I was black, living in a country where racism does exist, whether one wants to admit it or not. I was sentenced to death by an all white jury, my lawyer didn't put forward any type of evidence on my behalf nor did he call any of my family members who were able and willing to testify on my behalf although they were present in court. I made a statement because I was threatened by a certain Sergeant Novack and I was scared that he would do bodily harm to me.

This is the reason why I am presently on the Row awaiting an execution date. On July 4, 1985 1 called a cab to pick me up from a night club which I had just closed. When the cab arrived one of my associates and myself got in the car. After a while my associate told the driver that he wanted to get out of the car and he then paid the driver. I then told the driver to continue driving. When he turned a corner I told him it was a jack and that I wanted his money. He turned round and told me that he was not giving me anything. His reaction surprised and scared me, so I decided to leave the car. As I turned to get out of the car, the driver tried to take my gun away from me. As we were fighting over the gun, several shots went off and killed the driver. - I am not a bad person I have much love for the human race, and I would never take another human being's life for material items, it just isn't in my character to kill another human being for whatever reason. I left home at the age of 13 because my mother couldn't afford to take care of four kids. She was a single mother, but she did the best job she could. It was very hard to cope with everyday life without a male figure, so I had to feed myself somehow and put a roof over my head.

if I am guilty of a crime, it ain't the crime the State of Texas is charging me with. I shot a man because we were both fighting over the gun, it wasn't in any way my plan to kill the man. All l had in mind was to get his money and that's it.

So this is the reason why I am asking for your assistance. Due to poor legal representation I was unable to prove that my life should have been spared at my first trial. Hopefully you will find it in your heart to help me in any way possible, so that when my appeal comes around, I'll be able to have adequate legal representation for the continuation of my appeals process. The State of Texas knew that they were trying a man innocent of capital murder in their court room and yet they did everything in their power to convict me of capital murder. I'm sitting here on the Row waiting for an execution date to be set. Please sympathize with this miscarriage of justice. I've never killed anyone or anything in my life deliberately for self benefit and I want the world to know that I, Jimmy Jackson, ain't a killer, but I am a very loving, compassionate, understanding human being who took a wrong turn in life, but yet the State is determined to kill me without just cause! I'm coming to you with my last breath, asking that you help me in not allowing the State to take my life!

If it's our creator's will and my life is spared, I'm going to dedicate my life to helping young people who might find themselves in the same situation that I am in today, if they don't get their act together. I will continue to fight against this system which is oppressing us the people and as long as these injustices continue to happen, then the next generation, our kids, will have an uphill battle to fight, so let's make it better for our next generation of family, friends, associates and loved ones. "ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE" A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FOR ALL, NOT JUST THE RICH BUT FOR THE POOR AS WELL.

With all the constant changes in the law concerning the death penalty status, when my chance comes, it may be my only chance, so therefore I want to be prepared. Due to the extremely high cost of adequate legal representation, neither my family nor I can afford to hire a lawyer. We, as a family, are asking of you in all sincerity to join our never ending battle to save my life as well as the lives of my comrades who also need help. I truly hope that you can comprehend where I am coming from, I have tried to explain things as clearly as I can, so that everyone can sense the urgency to generate as many funds as we possibly can, in order to be prepared to meet all demands that a new trial may bring about. The cost is at the minimum of $ 50,000 but we're hoping to raise $ 200',000 to hire a whole law firm. We're aware of the fact that no one person or persons can donate this amount of money by themselves, but whatever one can donate would be appreciated very much.

In conclusion, we would like to thank each and everyone of you. I would also like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to read my plea for help. If there are any questions or if you require further information, please don't hesitate to drop me a few lines at this address:
