My husband was killed in Folsom Prison just 3months before he was getting out. It was a long time ago, but I have so many questions that noone can answer for me. I want to know if the investigation was completed, if they found anything out, and I have no idea how to do this. It is a wound that never heals, hopefully with some answers I can put this behind me, even though it has been 20 years this year. It has afected my entire life and I am haunted by the memories everyday. Any advise would be so helpful, and I would be so thankful for any ideas. Thank you.

I,m so sorry, Mrs. Carnathan...jeez there is never a time when two words felt so uselss. I pray you find your answers...someone who knows the texas systems better will be along soon, to help. that much i can tell you for sure.
Please know my prayers travel with your husband and you and yours.

I am so sorry and I wish I knew the answer...but I am sure somebody here can help provide a start.
Meanwhile, welcome to PTO. I am unbelievably impressed by the gentle kindness, knowledge and support so many PTOers are able to give, even when they have plenty of adversity of their own. Good luck in your quest and I hope that eventually you find a path to some kind of peace of mind.

I too am sorry for your loss, death in any way is never easy. I have a question though... After so many years of trying to find the answers, do you think they still have the records or that you will ever find out the truth? I really do hope you do succeed in your efforts to lay this to rest, and like the others have said, someone will steer you on the right path. Good luck to you

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I would try to post this in the state forum which the prison is located. They will probably be able to help you a little better.

Have you attempted to hire a lawyer? I know they are expensive. Pm me and I will see if I can help you.

Welcome to pto!

I am very sorry Mrs. Carnathan. That is a horrible thing to have to go through and worse when you don't even have closure.
I pray that you find some answers very soon.
God bless.

Mrs. Carnathan I am so sorry for the lose of your husband. What a horrible tragedy to have to go through. I personally do not know how you would go about getting the information you need, but I do no that there are many many people here on PTO that could assist you in finding some answers. Also, if you visit the California forum you will find a lot of helpful informaton there as well. Please take care.

I am so sorry to hear this. I know quite a bit about California Prisons, I live only 15 mins away from Folsom. PM me maybe I can help you.

I am so sorry for your loss it must be tough to go through this, I think the previous posters said the same thing I was going to say but posting in the state forum would be best cause some people may have better sources.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Most of our fears here at PTO is your reality. I don't know what to say...only to lean and rely on God.. you may not ever have the answer of exactly why your husband died, but know that God is in control, and He will give you strenght and Peace if you ask Him. God Bless You!

I am so sorry, I hope you can one day find the answers your looking for.

I hope you find the answers to all your questions and put this behind you. I'm sorry!

Mrs.Carnathan, I am sorry for the loss of your husband. I hope that you get the answers that you so desperately need to bring this to some sort of closure. Good Luck in your pursuit of the truth. Take Care and God Bless!

Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. May God bring you peace and the answers that you seek.

I also want to offer my sincerest condolences.I'm sorry I don't have the answers you are seeking.I honestly don't know where you would start.I'd think maybe with the prison warden to see if there are records still or perhaps contact a free legal service to see if they can offer any suggestions
