Friends---I forward this to the list----please feel free to respond directly to Jenni offline. Thanks! ****************************************************** ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2005 22:01:04 -0500 From: "Cowan, Jennifer R." <[email protected]> Subject: Death Penalty Website I am a student in a Sentencing and the Death Penalty class. I am trying to research accounts of death row inmates who have undergone psychological or sociological changes while on death row. Essentially, I am trying to make the argument that the people that receive the death penalty sentenced are not the same people when they are eventually executed. Part of my paper will explore the legal issues with the timing and process of death penalty cases, but I would also like to focus on the immense changes a person goes through while on death row. Unfortunately, my research is not progressing very far, as I cannot seem to find the right materials, either biographies, autobiographies, or just written accounts, of stories of death row inmates who have undergone extreme changes, such as acquired an education, undergone religious conversion, or simply changed as a person. Do you either (1) have some information that might help lead me in the right direction or (2) have some contacts from your website or listserv that might help. In advance, I thoroughly appreciate any help you can give me whatsoever. I can be contacted at [email protected]. Thank you!! Jenni Cowan [email protected]
