Death Row General Facts
The Supreme Court and the death penalty:The case of Furman vs. Georgia was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 1972. In that case, the Court held that capital punishment was unconstitutional and struck down state death penalty laws nationwide. A number of death penalty sentences were commuted to life in prison. In 1976 the Supreme Court overturned its ruling in Furman and upheld the constitutionality of the death penalty in the case of Gregg vs. Georgia.

We offer death row inmates free pen pal listings. We don't use a lot of frills or graphics. We feel the situation isn't suitable for that. We make no claims of their innocense, we are not inmate advocates and won't argue the merits of the death penaty. We simply offer their addresses because we feel that as long as there is breath, there is hope for the soul.
We have written all of these DR offenders and they all said they enjoyed our newsletters and correspondence as it took their minds away from the confinement, if only for a minute.
If an offender is on DR, they have been found guilty and convicted. Whether they are executed remains to be seen. We feel that in either case, life imprisonment or death, they have been punished enough.
Jesus when ask about the death penalty of a woman, he simply said he that is wiithout sin may cast the first stone. (paraphrased.) He did not strike down the death penalty, he was simply admonishing us to examine our souls first before we judged others.

I am looking for mail from God. Something that's going to make me feel good when I read it, something to help me spiritually
when I see it. Something you know is going to make me hold my head
up and say yes I can go on, I see what you mean. Someone who will
inspire me as I inspire you to keep moving forward in life despite the
odds against us. Someone who may understand what I am going
through, as I may them.
I do hope to hear from YOU soon ....
