ALIVE e.V.
Voices From Inside
 

Hello,

My name is Licho; I’m a 26 year old Hispanic from Dallas. Sitting on Death Row.

As you may already imagine it’s been a wild stay here. I must deal with the best way that I know. Survive this death sentence and remain sane all at once is a lot. They say that adversity brings out ones true character. A weak person will break while a strong person will thrive and excel to his full potential. Stone sharpens steel.

This confinement of mind, body and soul murder in a stone cage has sharpened the steel of my mind. Not because there is rehabilitation here. There isn’t any except for ones own will to live and to better himself. I know I have a steel will to live, learn, love and grow. My will is fuelled by my own self love. My struggles in life and being on Death Row have taught me many things. I have come to realize that pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses out understanding and from it I have discovered some truths, wisdom and even some joys that allow me to have some internal fortitude (even in this stone hell) that allows me to sustain an seek the expanse of FREEDOM!

I hope you give me the opportunity to share unbreakable bonds beyond this stone that will compel you to want to share in return. Allowing us, to meet on a common ground of human understanding.

Regards

Licho
