Death Row, Missouri
Hello!
I hope this finds you doing well and in good spirits.
This is why I am writing to you at this time.
I would like your help in finding someone that is willing to write to a death row prisoner,
in helping get through the sometimes rough and lonely times of being isolated from the outside world,
and in a daily struggle with fighting for his life.
I guess I should give you some background on myself,
some of my likes and basically who I am.
I have been on and off death row now for ten years.
I say on and off because I have had my sentence overturned
2 times and working on the 3rd time as I write this.
Both times the state has given me the death sentence again.
I can honestly say that having my sentence overturned those
2 times wasn't much of a change from being on the Row.
Basically, even though technically I was no longer on the row,
I was treated as if I were and within myself the fear of the
state wanting to execute me never left my everyday thoughts.
I am 33 yrs old, divorced with a daughter from the marriage in which I have no contact with.
My immediate family support me and do come to visit me whenever possible.
I do have friends that I write to on a regular basis,
but I am always looking to meet and get to know different people.
I enjoy trying to help people with their problems as
I know that some have far more greater problems than
I and to help someone with their problems gives myself
a sense of accomplishment and self worth.
I enjoy writing letters, poetry, and short stories.
I have yet to have anything published,
mainly because of the fear factor of if I tried to get anything published,
they would do nothing but laugh in my face.
Mainly due to the fact that I am on the Row.
I enjoy all types of music, except Heavy Metal and Gangster Rap.
But anything from contemporary to country that
I can understand the lyrics I'll listen to.
To break the boredom of living on death row, I mostly write poetry,
by putting my inner feelings down on paper,
but I also get out and about by going to the gym and working out,
running the track and lifting weights,
playing softball, handball, volleyball and football.
So I don't just sit around on my butt dwelling on my dilemma,
I do get out and exercise.
When I was out on the streets, which seems such a long time ago,
I worked as a boat builder.
I tried joining the service (army), when I was 20 years old.
But they wouldn't have me, because of a broken neck
I received when I wrecked my truck,
while being a stupid kid and drinking and driving.
So I went to work for a boat company down in South Georgia, which is where I am from.
The pay wasn't that great but it put food on the table and paid the bills.
I like to think of myself as an honorable person, by respecting others and keeping my word.
If you are able to find someone that is willing to write,
the first thing they should know is,
that I am not a player and I will never ask them for anything of monetary value.
All that I will ask from them is a growing friendship.
I am waiting to hear from you.
Thank you for your time,
much respect,
