Hello !
Spencer told me about this side and that he already posted some of my best friends Articles here.
My name is Sabine, I am from Austria and I am befriended and try to support some of the death row prisoners on Polunsky's death row. My best friend - not only from those prisoners, also in real life - became Paul Colella. As the prisoners were brought from Ellis to Polunsky Unit, he changed so much and he wanted to "go hard". I told him to "cool down" and wait "because everybody is working for you". Last year in May I was the first time in my life in Texas and was able to visit Paul and two other prisoners. Again I told Paul to "cool down" and I will never forget the sad look in his eyes. Since more than a year I told him the same, but it went worse and worse. I have to admit, that my wish for peace, for him to focus on his innocence stopped me from seeing, that something has to happen.
Three weeks after I left Texas, Warden Zeller (whom I met and who was so nice and sweet to me, that I told Paul "the new warden will make everything better") stopped the special visits for Level II and III prisoners. And than was November 2001 and everything went wrong. Since than I can only tell Paul, that he is the man who has to life there and that I will support every step he takes, even it sometimes sounds very hard.
The crazy thing is, that I tried to get public attention for his case for a while, and nobody was willing to listen - since he writes his "uncensored from Texas Death Row" and all the other articles, he gets a lot of attention. Isnt it crazy ?
Well, I close now, even I could write and write and hope, that I will be able to answer your questions - if there are some.
I will attach a photo of me and Paul from my visit in May. I hope you see our friendship on this photo.
Yours
Sabine
