PrisonPenPal ID: 1072 | Ad First I want to wish you all wonderful holidays. Everyone that is reading this, I hope that you are all well and in wonderful high spirits!
My name is Lee Andrew Taylor # 999344. I reside on Texas death row. I have been here since 2000. I have had many chances to have my name on a pen pal organization, but I have not been really ready to get involved. When coming here I did not know there was going to be a long process for the courts. I was thinking that I would come here then there would be a short period before the state killed me. The actual time period takes anywhere between 5-10 years now in Texas. Therefore I have become to realize that I DO need friends in here. It is starting to become really lonely. I am hoping that you will find something in this letter that strikes your interest in wanting to reach out and see what type of person I am.
There is no TV in Texas anymore. Therefore there is really nothing to do but sit and write. I have already started writing a book about my life. I am hoping that I will say something about the trials I have been through in this short life, which will help someone going through the same things that I had to go through on the streets. I am 24 years old. My birthday is January 8, 1979. I am from Huston, Texas. I have been on my own since the very young age of 13. I have been there and done that. I was arrested on arm robbery. There was a death involved, but I was only charged with arm robbery. I was sentenced to life in prison. There is a new law in Texas that says if one is in prison serving a life sentence and kills someone then that consists of capitol murder. And therefore given a death sentence. I will not go all off into the case. I am sure there is limited space on the site I am writing this for. I was in a riot there 5 white men, including myself and eight black men. I and my brother were jumped and we fought back until we could not fight anymore. We knew it was coming so we armed ourselves. In prison you don’t run to the “man” (officers) and tell on things like what was about to happen to me and my brother. Not unless you want to go through the rest of your time being a used and reused homosexual. That is reality here. (Sorry) so we fought. A black man was killed. and we were beat half to death by the remaining seven. You know what happens??? The district attorney plays the “race card”. It makes the jury feel sorry about racist people, and if they don’t give me the death sentence then THEY are racist too!
I am young and have a long time in here. I did the only thing I could do. I fought for my life, pride and respect. The three things you have to have here. All this was on video, but the judge would not allow the jury to see me and my friends getting the hell beat out of us. We had many other tapes (not shown) that showed whites being beat on in here. See the reality is that Texas prison population is 70% black. And the few whites that “stay down and fight everyday”. None of that was shown to the jury either. But I will tell you more if you write.
With all that said, I am not racist. I believe in same sex marriage, but other than that I hold not racial hate. I have many black friends in here even after I killed a black in population. You know why? Because they know how it is in here. They also respect who I am. I hope that when you are done reading this that you will want to know me for who I am. Not what I am in here for.
I will write to any of you that wish to correspond. I want to tell you though that the last grade that I finished in school was the 8th grade. Therefore I am not that good at spelling. When I was arrested I could not read or write. I have come along way on my own. I love to read. I try to learn about any subject possible. I have been locked up for 7 years now, since 1995. I came to death row in 2000.
I have dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and 5” 10” 230lbs, but I am Not fat. My nick name in here is Tiny. (Smile) I could tell you a lot more about me, but like I said, I don’t know how much space I am allowed to use. If you want to write, I will write back
