I think every human being deserves to be treated as such, and all humans need to feel companionship and loved. I imagine prison life and death row is hard enough without feeling completely alone and deserted for a bad decision made in most cases years ago which is mostly like deeply regretted. My pen pal is pleading his innocence and is fighting against his sentence but if he had committed the crime I would still write to him. Some of his opinions I seriously don't agree with but I still write to him. Why? Because he's human, he's a person. He has feelings and hopes and dreams despite everything and a single bad action or decision does not define a person and should not define or condemn them. :-)
