deathrow inmate pp

If it were me, I would write one more letter and ask him to please let you know what is going on. If he wants to cut ties, let you know and you can say your goodbyes.

Sorry your in this situation!

You can always look on a website to see if he was executed, the guards messed with his mail??? What you could do, i had a PP in FL and I sent him some stamped envelopes, and on the letter I wrote on the top what i enclosed so he would know I sent this ain case it got missing. Maybe yu could try contacting him one last time.
Florida rarely executes inmates, it doesnt happen as often as it does in Texas.

I wish this board had an edit button!
Should read, Sorry you're in this situation.

Maybe try calling the prison and see if anything has happened.

I would suggest calling the prison and seeing if you can find out about him via the chaplain or councillor. At least that way you can see if he is okay - there maybe all sorts of reason for him not writing but at least you would get peace of mind knowing that your pp is okay.

good advice thanks

there is a website with all executions planned in America, this is the link, hope you have something on it:

golden unfortunately i have had some experience in this area, if you havent already found out if he is gone, you can email me at jessb31 [at] hotmail.comrel="nofollow" and I will try and find out for you.
Hoping there is another reason.

I really hope that your pen pal is alright. I understand how you must be feeling. I am currently corresponding with three death row inmates, and I'm very concerned that I will get attached to them.

One of them in particular, is so smart, funny, sweet and charming. You just can't help but like him. It's hard to believe that he is guilty of the crime he was accussed and convicted of. He seems like a genuinely kindhearted person.

I am an extreamely sensitive and empathic person, and have a tendency to take on other people's pain. So part of me wonders if I may have made a mistake by choosing to correspond with someone on death row. On the other hand, I feel good knowing that I am making a difference in their lives.

The other day I was watching the news, and I learned that Texas had recently executed(or perhaps more aptly stated, murdered) their sixteenth death row inmate this year. And I just wanted to run from the room. I actually had tears in my eyes. I know that one day it's going to be someone that I care for very deeply, whose name is on the news. I know that the time will eventually come, and that I'll have to accept it. But I also know that it will be an extreamely emotionally trying time for me.

I know that my pen pals broke the law, and some of them committed heinous crimes. But they are still human beings. And I do not feel that the state has the right to take a life. I strongly opposse the death penalty. It is cruel, inhumane and barbaric and has no place in a civilized, compassionate society.

I feel very helpless sometimes, because I wish there was something more that I could do for them. I can't imagine how scared and lonely someone in that situation must feel.

Anyway, I do hope that everything is alright. I will keep you and your pen pal in my prayers. He is lucky to have a friend like you, who cares so deeply for him. I hope that he appreciates it. All the best,

Lisa

This must be truly painful for you I wish you all the best in getting answers. You deserve to know either way. I will keep you and your PP in my prayers as well...

i just cant deal with it, i dont know why he isnt writing, i can only imagine, i am angry and i am not sure why, i just feel angry, at everything, i have so many mental probs myself and i get like this sometimes, thanks for the prayers, i have to remember the victims which i have a tendensy to forget, but i dont think the death penalty is the correct answer to anything, it all seems like such a waste , this thread is getting old so i doubt ill get a response but thanks anyway
