Rodney Rachal est actuellement à la recherche de correspondants:

My name is Rodney C. Rachal, I'm one of many death row inmates.

I was born April 29, 1970, I've been incarcerated for 9 1/2 years. I'm 5 feet 10 inches and 175 pounds.

Due to the fact that I'm very limited, I enjoy working out (exercising), listening to music such as R&B, Rap, Jazz, and even a little Country. Also, I enjoy reading and writing as much as my eyes will allow, there's no particular kind of book for my mind is open to all type's of books.

I'm interested in dinding a pen pal to correspond with, because once one begins to share that he/she begins to realize just how wonderful having a true friend can be.

Many have good intentions of being a true friend which is touching but good intentions are not tangible. A true friend is something very difficult to be, which I've learned, and I'm not saying that I've mastered this, but I will always give 101% of myself to make things work, for I want to build the most "Beautiful" and "Profoundest" friendships ever endured between two human beings in our situation.

Gender doesn't matter for we are all human beings and I'm looking to share a true friendship. For, I'm sure you're aware of the loneliness endured here on Texas Death Row. We have no television and only have one hour a day out of our cell, therefore, I have 23 hours a day to devote to correspondence with someone. If you're interested please feel free.

Thanks for your time and may you continue doing that which makes you happy.

Sincerely,
Rodney

Oscar Franklin Smith, Tennessee death row inmate, declines to select execution method

Oscar Franklin Smith, a Tennessee death row inmate scheduled for execution on May 22, will die by lethal injection if the process moves forward. Smith, who was asked to choose between lethal injection and the electric chair, declined to pick, his attorney Kelley Henry, a supervisory assistant federal public defender, said. When an inmate does not choose, the method defaults to lethal injection. It's not the first time Smith has been given this grim decision and declined. That decision to not choose ultimately saved his life for three more years.
