How to help

 

There are several hundreds of prisoners sentenced to death who, thanks to the Community of Sant�Egidio�, correspond with a lot of friends all over the world. These prisoners are not only in the U.S. but also in other countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Cameroons, Zambia. Some others live in countries such as Russia where a couple of years ago all capital sentences were commuted into life imprisonement.

 

"...I've been living on death-row for 5 long years. I came here when I was a boy; now I'm a man and I understand much more, but I can no longer do something for my life ...Even if you can't help me to get out of here, you can write to me and be my friends..."

(Dominique, Texas)

"I am a 29-year-old prisoner who has been on death row for 3 years now. I�m looking for a pen-friend to feel less lonely"

(Michael, Florida)

""... your letter took me by surprise. I was more than sure that nobody wanted to write to a person like me, that nobady wanted to talk about things neatly, sincerely..."

(Aleksej, Siberia)
