Rudolph's Pen Pal Request.

Hello, my name is Rudolph Holton and I am 46 years old and I have been on death row for 13 years. I have made some bad decisions in my life, but I am not a killer. Some of my physical characteristics: I am 5'8'' in height and I weigh 170 lbs, black hair brown eyes. Some interests of mine are art, basketball, and Van Halen. As far as art, I have always loved the work of Salvador Dali and would like to one day attend the museum.  Conditions on death row: cells are 6' x 9' or 7' x 9' an average sized man can stand in the middle of the cell with his arms stretched out and touch both walls. For two hours twice a week death row prisoners can go on the "yard", a concrete-paved enclosure... The cells are brutally hot in the summer and bitterly cold in the winter. Just imagine that you are existing under such conditions, for months, for years, years doing which you see those you have come know led away to their execution as you await your death warrant; then try to imagine what it might mean to you to get a letter from someone just because they care. It is especially nice when someone sends you a magazine subscription, a birthday card or to receive cards at other special occasions, such as Christmas, Easter...
