| A Prisoner Testimonial : "You are so right, people like Helene don't come along too often in this crazy world. I just replied to her letter. She stood by my side when darkness set upon me and gave me warmth when life felt so cold. I'm forever grateful for her love and support." |

A Poem By TracyWhere To Now?A shadow dancing to the sound of rain Soulless and heartless Yet finding such pain There's an emptiness smile With lifeless eyes An echoing thunder Of unheard cries Touching so strongly With nowhere to feel Wanting and needing A breath of what's real Left deathless and lifeless No loss and no gain Just a shadow dancing To the sound of rain Tracy, Mississippi |

Human Writes Patrons
"As a journalist who has lived and worked in the United States, the horror of death row is one of the issues that never leaves you. The thread of humanity that Human Writes manages to sustain with men and women on death row is a profound contribution to keep alive the hope of life. Capital punishment is now on the retreat in America, but the numbers awaiting their fate are still very considerable. I am very honoured to have become a Patron of Human Writes and will hope to do my best to put my shoulder to the wheel".
Jon Snow Broadcaster and journalist Patron, Human Writes
"In such an inhuman system small moments of human contact make a big difference. That's why I support Human Writes and why I would encourage you to do the same."
Gary Younge, Author and US-based feature writer for the Guardian Patron, Human Writes |
