20 Years Straight IncarcerationDeath Row Inmate: Dennis Mayfield Brewer C-93626Arrested: March 3rd, 1986 - Age 26To Date: March 3rd, 2006 - Age 46As the sun has set on this day, March 3rd, 2006, I have thought long about my last 20 years of incarceration, from the county jail to these walls of San Quentin State Prison that are always cold and emotionless. I have had many ups and downs, changes

From "Pieces of My Soul"Late at night in my dreams, I see the children of the world running free,no hatred, racism, or segregation,but rather graceful unity,For they only know true love,as it is the power source that naturally moves them, to do only what's best in the interest of long life.They put their heads togetherand hands side by side in school,to work the magic of the golden rule, they

From the Dungeon of California’s San Quentin Death Row: Dennis Mayfield Brewer “Walks Alone” in the Hole. Sitting here in the adjustment center called “The AC” (hole), I’m an inmate on California’s death row. On December 10, 2005, I was housed in East Block where most of the death row’s population is housed, and I had been there for the past 11 years, disciplinary free. But I will show you that

I wrote to Jimmy Dennis in early December without knowing anything about him. Yesterday, I received a letter back from him which included information about his case. There is a campaign going on that has captured the attention of the likes of Susan Sarandon, and his case details do not paint a picture of guilt. In fact, it is cases like Jimmy's that initially compelled me to want to do something

by Robert Talib Douglas on Death Row in PennsylvaniaWell it's almost two years since I last wrote my last essay on the injustice toward the poor, how much has changed? Well to start we know since 1976 about 80 American men/woman that have been sentence to death were later found innocent and 13 of them got help from journalism students "Think of this" "Students,Kids on a research assignment"

by Robert Talib Douglas on Death Row in Pennsylvania.First thing, Prison is no place for a person to be who can't handle pressure especially on death row, where it is a very tense atmosphere and very unpredictable. I'm just one of many who have felt the pain and experienced the injustice of being a minority in the belly of the system, (Death Row). I sit on death row after being convicted of first

i would like to, when i have time, put together fact sheets of purely objective data regarding death rows around the united states of america. what better place to start than san quentin being as it was most recently the focus of a media frenzy surrounding the execution of stanley “tookie” williams.san quentin holds california’s only death row. it was built to hold only 554 prisoners, but

just over a year ago, i read an article, just an average article about a crime and the perpetrator going to jail, and realized by the end of it, that the perpetrator was a very close friend of mine. having been out of touch for a while, i didn’t know what was going on in his life. i missed him though. and the news that he’d gone to jail didn’t make that any easier. he was someone who helped me
