Invisible Realities, Forgotten Voices: The Women on Death Row
This book is a 2006 release but the study is fascinating.

Romina Deeken is a classic beauty – long and lithe, cascading blond hair, green eyes set in alabaster – not the type of woman who needs to solicit attention from men.But last year, the 24-year-old German reached out to a convicted killer on Texas' death row. Her motives were altruistic, she said, not romantic. In time, after more than 50 letters posted back and forth across the Atlantic, Ms. Deeken said, mutual feelings grew. "I have a connection with him," she explained recently, shaking slightly, tears running down her cheek. "Everyone in life has a vision, has dreams, has fears, is searching for something. He is the person I can talk deeply with about these things."Ms. Deeken's story is coffee shop talk in this small southeast Texas town, home of the maximum-security Polunsky Unit and death row.Each month, dozens of travel-weary, love-struck European women arrive in Livingston for visits with condemned inmates, a pair of four-hour chats through Plexiglas. There is no touching.

THE guilty plea of an Australian sentenced to death in Vietnam for heroin trafficking makes it difficult to know if he can win clemency, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said today. Tony Manh, 40, of NSW, was yesterday convicted by a Ho Chi Minh City court of trafficking almost one kilogram of the drug.Manh was arrested in March with the heroin hidden on his body as he was about to board a flight to Sydney.The Australian Government plans to lobby Vietnam to commute Manh's death sentence to a jail term once the appeals process has been exhausted.Mr Downer today said the Government had played a part in achieving this outcome for four Australians originally sentenced to death in Vietnam."I've no idea what would happen in this particular case as I understand that Tony Manh has actually pleaded guilty - but in four previous cases, we have successfully appealed for clemency,'' he told Southern Cross Broadcasting."That's not to say we will be successful this time.''Mr Downe

Twelve years after being sentenced to die, Charles Walker is off of death row. Walker was hours away from execution in 2004. In 2006, a judge found that the State withheld vital evidence from Walker’s defense team and that one of Walker’s co-defendants lied on the stand. Instead of retrying the case, prosecutors allowed Walker to enter an Alford plea to conspiracy to commit murder and accessory to murder. Said Walker’s attorney, “If there is a larger lesson here, it’s that you can’t expect a system made up of human beings to be successful when they decide to play God.” More here.

I’d like to bring everyone’s attention to a local ministry here in the ‘ville. It’s called The Forgiveness Foundation. Check out their site from our blogroll on the left. In a nut-shell, they correspond with every prisoner on death row with the ultimate intent of sharing the gospel. They also minister to the families of those inmates. This year, they are hoping to send hand-made (by children) Christmas cards to each of these inmates. Our church is making a bunch of them, along w/SMP007’s.. (and others around us in the ‘ville). If your church would be willing to participate in this.. that would be kickin awesome of you. You can contact my good friend Rodney at the email link below for more details.

Lawyers for Amaru Entertainment and Afeni Shakur, co-administrator of the Tupac Shakur Estate, filed for an injunction against Death Row Records, Inc. and R. Todd Neilson, as Chapter 11 Trustee, to prohibit the inclusion of Tupac Shakur’s unreleased tracks, compositions or sound recordings in the auction of Death Row Records. The adversary complaint was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles on July 20, 2007.
The injunction sought to restrain the sale of certain assets belonging to the Tupac Estate which are being touted as part of the Death Row Records bankruptcy assets. With closed bidding ending Friday, July 20, 2007 lawyers for the Tupac Estate sought full disclosure by the Bankruptcy Trustee’s counsel that the unreleased master recordings in question were not part of the sale. In actuality, the recordings should have been turned over to the Tupac Shakur Estate in 1997, pursuant to a settlement agreement reached

I watched the WE Networks show "Women on Death Row" the other night. I was really excited because when WE first started researching this program they contacted the support group I belong to and told us all about it. Sister Kathleen and Christa Pikes sweet mom are both part of this great group.I was excited to see Carissa, God has put on this planet. I was disappointed in the program though. I had spoken to the girls I wrote to and three of them agreed to be a part of the program. Instead of contacting me they used some girls that werent even on death row anymore and some were not very forthcoming.They used Sister Kathleen, thank goodness for that or there would have been very little of interest. Christa Pike did a fine job. They let her have her say and I felt good about that. I feel so badly for her mother. She has often said how long she tried to get Christa help and was always turned away. That alone should take her off death row.
