In Memoriam Shep Wilson Jr.

This was his pen friend request:

My name is Shep Wilson Jr.

I am a 49 year old black male, who has been housed on Alabama’s Death Row for the past 20 years. For the past 16 ½ years, I have been detained on Death Row, waiting to receive a new trial, due to me not having a good lawyer, who has prepared an efficient defense. There is not much I can do, but wait and pray for a miracle on my behalf.

Since my dear mother passed away on New Year’s morning 2005, and my son was sent to prison for 12 years just 4 month later, I pretty much shut myself off from people, but that doesn’t help deal with the reality of facing traumative experiences.

I would be glad, if someone would write me.

Shep died in June 2008 in a county jail in Alabama while waiting for a new trial.
