The project connectdeathrow Blog
Flyer English Flyer Deutsch FAQ School project Schulprojekt
This site will provide the opportunity to get in a short-term contact with a death row prisoner or with another person concerned with the death penalty.
Who are the target persons for the project?
If you are a teacher, student or other person who is interested in the death penalty and all that comes with it, you could be the person to use this project. The project is set up to give students or classes of juveniles the opportunity to get in short-term contact with a death row prisoner. The letters are sent through the project and there is no direct contact.
Who are the inmates who will answer the letters?
The inmates have all agreed to personally answer letters of classes or students, through the project. Their motivation is to “give something back to the world” and they don’t expect any benefit other than the pleasure of having a limited interaction.
