Death row Wives
Stupid lonely brititsh women who write to inmates on death row, fall in love with them, become convinced of their innocence, then go over to texas to watch them get the lethal injection. Evil or Very Mad

WTF is that all about.

Madness.

I remember reading an article on the prisoner 'Charles Bronson', apparently this is not his real name, he changed it.
It detailed his history of violent outbursts, prison breaks, psychotic artwork, and eccentric behaviour.
The story that made me laugh was that he kidnapped a prison guard at knife point during a prison riot.
It was said he demanded a 'cup of tea and a helicopter to brazil', or he'd eat the prison guard alive!

Granted, he had a sense of humour but not exactly marriage material.

I read his autobiography, in the end I kinda felt sorry for the way he was treated Sad

If I am correct, Charles Bronson has never actually killed anybody.

Look it up.

He is the only person in the UK to receive such a sentence without ever being convicted of murder.

I'm sure not every woman who sets out to write to or commune with Death Row (or indeed any) prisoners intends to fall in love with them.

Certainly, there are some sicko's out there who fancy "dining out" on stories of their boyfriend who is banged up on a Murder 1 charge. The Jerry Springer mentality sets in quite quickly on those types.

Its not easy to be in love with someone who may (or may not) have murdered somebody. Its a terribly difficult thing to justify whether or not you can live with the thought that their hands may have taken somebody else's life, and you have to consider very carefully how you feel about such a thing.

No doubt many of the women who fall for these type of (Death Row) men simply believe whatever the man says about what happened, listens to their sob story about how they were so hard-done-by, and blindly forgives them or believes whatever they are told. I think its those women's duty to themselves to examine very carefully what they are told by "their men".

Or a woman in such a circumstance can just accept that they have done that wrong to somebody else ... and try to look past that to the man behind the murderer. You have to look long and hard at yourself and decide whether the man behind the murder is in fact one who is worthy of your affection or your time.

There is a very interesting book entitled "Women who love men who murder" (or something like that). I read it ages ago. Very interesting, eye opening, thought provoking, etc.

One certainly doesn't sit around wondering whether they are going to do you in while you are asleep, or crack you one over the head when your back is turned. Often those people have acted on impulse and regret their actions. But time can't be turned back. Many of them, even on Death Row, regret what happened, why they are there.

Death Row Groupies are a strange bunch, but there are women (and men) out there who understand the pressure that living in prison brings (whether on Death Row or whether just banged up in general) and how even a letter from a stranger can mean a lot to someone with nothing to do for 23 hours a day except look at other men, and wonder whether they are capable of nutting you over a misunderstanding about a bag of crisps.

Prison's not an easy place to be. My opinion (unpopular amongst those I hang out with) is that those who end up in there are either stupid enough to do the crime, stupid enough to get caught, or stupid enough to take the rap for somebody else. I risk prison time through the job I sometimes do, but its a risk I take. I would hope that if I was banged up, my family and friends would be in contact with me as best they could. But I know if someone with a little humanity contacted me in a spirit of cameraderie (after my initial suspicion as to why they were doing it, LOL) ... I would be very pleased for the humanity of regular letters, even from a stranger. There are many people whose families leave them to it.

Oh dear, I'm running on a bit ...
Best go make a cup of coffee and shut up now, LOL.
