ERIC MANN
Hello, my name is Eric Mann, I'm a 39 year old death row inmate who is looking for quality company and conversation. I am also seeking financial support or contributions for the purpose of establishing a defense fund regarding my fight for life and to help with basic needs items. What I seek from the courts is a reversal of sentence, I have been on death row for five years, two of those years were without legal representation. I am in serious need of an experienced appeal attorney and investigator to research, prepare and fight my case. If needed, I will provide all court transcripts and related documents so you'll have a clear understanding of my current situation. I am the father of two very beautiful and loving daughters, both are having a very difficult time in coping with this situation and I greatly fear what my execution will do to them, your help in anyway would be most appreciated by all of us. As for myself... I have a wide range of interests that include: world events, spiritual well being, people & culture, metaphysics, unexplained phenomena, poetry, art, reading & writing, animals, nature, music and so much more... I enjoy sharing thoughts, ideas, emotions, dreams and whatever else comes to mind. In me you'll find an open mind, a great listener, honesty, loyalty, warmth, care, sensitivity, humor and wit. And though I'm in prison, prison is not within me and I am not one who indulges in all the various prison scams and con games nor am I one who plays mind games with others. Friendship is priceless and unconditional always So please feel free to ask any questions that you wish and I will gladly answer them with all due honesty and candor, I will also answer all those who choose to respond post haste. For those of you who wish to know, my convictions did not in any way involve offenses against women or children. I was convicted of a double homicide in the shooting deaths of two men. Thank you so very much for your time, I do hope to hear from a few kind and caring people soon... Till then, peace be with you and God Bless. Most Sincerely, Eric Mann

EFREN MEDINA Greetings ! I am a 24 year old single Hispanic man currently incarcerated on Arizona's Death Row. And this being my first time being incarcerated it has been a complicated experience... as well as a long story. I'm writing in a desperate attempt to receive some communication from the outside world. I'm not looking for anyone in particular to write to. Just anyone who would be interested? And has a few moments to spare. For writing a letter once in awhile, with no head games.! Since my arrival I have found it very difficult to make new friendships in here. It gets pretty lonesome in here. And I believe that the company by way of correspondence could change a lot of that for me. If you decide that you would like to write me, please feel free to ask me anything your curiosity creates, and or talk about anything you would like ? I'll answer all of your questions to the utmost or at least as best I can.

I'm 6' 2", 210 lbs, 29 years old, 7-28-10 brown hair, blue eyes. I've been on the row since 1991. I also have a brother here (See Robert Murray below...). I love writing letters, poems, drawing, reading, laughing and having fun. I always speak my mind even though I put my foot in my mouth sometimes. I expect other people to do the same. I would like someone with my similar qualities, male or female, doesn't matter. They've got to be able to write at least once a week, cause that's about what I'll write. I'd also like someone who can send me a few dollars a month to help pass the time. If we get along, they wont just be gaining a pen pal but a true friend, someone who'll listen and give good advice. I'll be honest, and always be here when you need me ! I just need a few buddies to help pass time, so get off your butt and write me already ! Visit his webpage at: http://ccadp.org/rogermurray.htm

ROBERT W MURRAY
Born 12/20/64 Height 6'4" or 193 cm Weight 250 or 108 kg, brown hair - green eyes. I was arrested in May 1991 along with my younger brother, " Roger". After 18 months of legal struggles we were given the death penalty. It was the typical routine, of poorly motivated lawyers, highly motivated public officials - a little shift of evidence here, a little bit of perjury there. Next thing I know - I'm on death row. My state lawyers were a complete failure by any standards. I've just begun my uncertain and ever shifting journey into the Federal Courts. (with Federal attorneys). I am a freelance writer / artist. I'm a poet, a philosopher, a compassionate person with an opinion on many subjects. I've gotten myself a few college credits, I've studied many topical subjects. My last employment was a professional chef / steward in the marine industry out of New Orleans. (I love to cook) The system frustrates me, for years I was bitter and angry and battled the injustice alone. But, I do realize I need help. I need support, I need to share myself on many levels... I am afraid to walk through this darkness alone. It would be nice to have some guidance when I feel myself getting lost. I'm not an easy person to write. I find myself wanting to be involved. I give great advice, I'm a good consultant on an array of matters. If I don't make you crazy, I'll make you smile - if there is a difference …In any event, I openly await an opportunity to know who you are, what makes you happy, sad, or afraid.

RICHARD ROSSI
THE VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP - A Writing By Richard Rossi-September, 1999. When I decided to reach out to the outside world and find some friends, it was back in 1986. I wrote to a number of colleges, pen pal organizations, church groups, just about anyone who would hear me. I received some answers. Believe it or not, I still have some of the friends I made 13 years ago. That in itself says a lot about friendships. Over the years I have become a writer and have attracted additional friendships. This simple practice of letter writing is lost on many people. Before prison, I was like many others, I did not write many letters and the mail just brought bills to be paid. The telephone had supplanted the mail. It is not easy to find people who care to write letters these days. The friendships I have developed through letters have taught me so much. The letters from my friends are my life. They enable me to endure this cruel and miserable existence. I see mayhem and insanity around me every day of my life. Men who have no focus, no support, no reason to live. Most engage in watching mind numbing and senseless TV comedies or other such programs, or they argue and exchange anger with each other. All this in response to the pressure of the loneliness of death row. I live for my letters with news from my friends. They have become my extended family. They are the root system that keeps me anchored and in touch with reality. Certainly a reason for living when little else remains. A Yin and Yang surely exist here. It leads me to believe that perhaps there is more to life than all the pain and suffering. After all, there is a dichotomy here. On the one hand, life has dealt me a death blow, taken all I have, and replaced it with pain and loneliness. A life with little meaning and less value. A cul-de-sac of dead ends, worry and frustration. But all is changed due to the unflappable spirit and love of total strangers. Who are these people? Why do they care about me, a person branded as the "worst of the worst", a blight on society, a seemingly worthless individual? Some would callously call these friends "do gooders", or "bleeding hearts". However, this is not so - the truth lies beneath the surface. My friends have become the essence of life to me. The meaning of life. For life without them would be totally meaningless. I am certain that I would have pulled the plug on this cruel hoax called life a long time ago were it not for my friends. Bent as it would appear to be solely on revenge, what this uncaring society has done by warehousing me and dismissing me as worthless has been countered by my friends, who have restored my faith with love. Unconditional love. I liken my friends to doves of peace dropping seeds of love and support at random. These seeds take root in the harshest of environments, even here in the desert. The roots spread like daisy chains and anchor me to the world. So strong are these roots that they withstand the constant tugging of those who see me as a mere weed in their garden and desire only to eliminate me. Weeds have no purpose and are killed. My life has been nurtured by my friendships. How much strength I get to face this adversity is amazing. The cumulative effect of my friends is that I have been taught the real meaning of brotherhood and love. Rather than be left to bemoan the cold reality of my world on death row, and the hardships it bestows on me daily, I consider myself to be an extraordinarily fortunate and wealthy man. How amazing to find that love and compassion can flourish even in this harsh desert wasteland! Although hatred and pain will always exist, I have found that there is an antidote, that being the caring and love that arrives in the form of letters that float through these prison walls like magic, carrying a drug stronger than the poison of hate. You who write to me have given me hope and strength, you have taught me the meaning of true friendship and humanity. You have restored what society has tried to take from me. It is not the length of life that matters, but rather the richness and quality of life. Thanks to you, my friends, I have the knowledge that I have worth and value as a human being.- Richard Rossi.

Sean B. Running Eagle a Native American was attending college December 1987 when this tragedy occurred changing his life forever he was only 19 years old.   During the interrogation Running Eagle was assaulted and brutalized by the detective as they attempted to extract a confession.... And now Running Eagle sits on death row (almost eleven years) for a crime he did not commit, another victim of the state. He is penniless, alone, and looking for hope. While the state continues to impose their power and will on him and others like him. Today Running Eagle languishes in one of the most cruel and hideous prisons in the United States." - From his webpage. Note : SMU II has a very restrictive policy, postage is through inmate store purchases only. If you would like to correspond please send a money order.
