We are a non-profit nationwide organization dedicated to the reduction of crime through the reform of the criminal justice system. We are a prison and jail reform advocacy group headquartered in Washington, DC with chapters or affiliates in most states of the union. Deadman Talkin` - Deadman Talkin` is a serie of columns, written by Dean Carter who is currently on death row, in San Quentin Prison. Death Penalty Group - December 19, 2005 - I just started a web site that is going to be geared towards educating people on both sides of the death penalty argument regarding what life is like behind bars for condemned prisoners. I have a team of volunteers who are going to write to death row inmates around the US and ask them to participate by sending us letters that they would like us to post on the blog. It will hopefully be a simple record straight from their own mouths on what day-to-day life is like on death row. Even if the men and women on death row we write to do not want to contribute, we would like to stay their pen pals as so few of them have anyone to really communicate with. My hope is that one day I will have a non-profit organization that will be successfully educating people about the human side of death row, not the scientific, statistical side.
