Here on Texas Death Row one of the few privleges we have has been the privelege of going to commisary. We are able to purchase things such as food items, personal hygeines, shoes and clothing items (undershorts, t-shirts, socks, and thermal wear) These are just as expensive in here as they are on the outside.

Inmates who aren't fortunate enough to be provided with financial assistance are forced to wear state issued clothing. These same items are passed around from inmate to inmate which could be very unsanitary. Can you imagine wearing your neighbors undershorts the day after he gets out of them? Well that's the guy down here that has no financial assistance.

We are always in need of help in one form or another, whether it's legal assistance, friendship, books, magazines, or someone sending money to the inmate trust fund to help take care of our needs in this hell hole. I'm sure many of you know how hard it is to ask anyone for some kind of help simply because you can't do for yourself. Most of us feel the same way. I guess pride can work against you sometimes.

I hope that you can all understand our position down here. So if there's anyway you feel you can help anybody down here, including myself, then don't hesitate because it is greatly needed and will be very much appreciated.

Best wishes to you and your family and we here on Texas Death Row look forward to hearing from you...

Best Wishes
