...has a large number of inmates. I was surprized at just how many inmates there are on death row in FL. 402 right now. http://www.dc.state.fl.us/activeinma...hrowroster.asp Mostly white men but also four women.

Got to talking to a friend yesterday about two pen pals she has. Both of these are on death row here in FL. They seem to be jealous of one another in getting her attentions.

She does not want to know what they did just make a connection with whom she sees as lonely pathetic individuals needing a friend.

She gave me one of the names because she said he sounded like someone who could barely read. I looked him up on the FL Death Row database and he does look like someone with a very limited mind (probably borderline mentally challenged).

He committed a terrible crime though in murdering his two senior neighbors extremely brutally so that he could pawn their stuff to support his cocaine habit. He was high on cocaine when he murdered these two 79 and 84 aged neighbors. His DNA was found at the crime scene probably in the form of blood from the knife that cut him while he was stabbing his neighbors 38 times.

It does kind of concern me though with my friend creating friction between these two death row inmates. They have adjoining cells. Old habits die hard as they say.

Not sure what I should do about telling my friend about the background of one of her prison pen pals?

I had a prison pen pal back around 1977-1978 in Nevada when I was trying to work out what would drive someone to crime. He tried to convert me to Christianity as he put it, and we ended up arguing about religion too much for either's good. I never asked exactly what he did either as I did not want to know.
