Donald Trump’s second presidential term will begin on Jan. 20, bringing with it promises to dramatically reshape many aspects of the criminal justice system. The U.S. Senate — with its authority over confirming judicial nominees — will also shift from Democratic to Republican control.

Penpals / Correspondants

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

To U.S. Death Row Inmates, Today's Election is a Matter of Life or Death

Published

You don't have to tell Daniel Troya and the 40 other denizens of federal death row locked in shed-sized solitary cells for 23 hours a day, every day, that elections have consequences. To them, from inside the U.S. government's only death row located in Terre Haute, Indiana, Tuesday's election is quite literally a matter of life and death: If Kamala Harris wins, they live; if Donald Trump wins, they die. "He's gonna kill everyone here that he can," Troya, 41, said in an email from behind bars. "That's as easy to predict as the sun rising."
