Welcome to Human Writes

Human Writes is a long established organisation founded for the purpose of befriending prisoners on Death Row in the USA.  Whilst everyone involved with Human Writes is against the death penalty, the organisation does not campaign as such, as its main remit is friendship through letter writing.  Human Writes is not linked to any particular political or religious groups.  The organisation has become well known internationally and many prominent public figures actively encourage and support the work that we do.  We have become generally known and accepted by the US prison authorities as a reputable organisation, working within the parameters of their systems.

Friendship through letter writing

More than 3400 people are condemned to death in the United States, facing many years on Death Row before they are executed.  Many of them have been there for ten years or more and may be given several execution dates, sometimes coming within hours or even minutes of execution before the final one. Many living under sentence of death have severe learning disabilities or are mentally ill; some have had an abusive childhood and a high proportion have had very poor legal representation.  We also remember that capital punishment in the US has famously been defined "Those without the capital get the punishment".  Living conditions on Death Row in many states are harsh and dehumanising.  It is not unusual for people to be locked up for 23 hours a day or to suffer sensory deprivation.  Many of the prisoners are abandoned by their families and friends and some have no contact whatsoever with the outside world.  Receiving letters can make a huge difference to their quality of life; prisoners speak of us as their sunshine or their window on the world.  Above all, they value being able to have a normal conversation with someone and the feeling that someone cares.   A Prisoner Testimonial : "You are so right, people like Helene don't come along too often in this crazy world. I just replied to her letter. She stood by my side when darkness set upon me and gave me warmth when life felt so cold. I'm forever grateful for her love and support."   Notelets for sale Notelets for sale Prisoners' artwork notelets available for sale. > read more

Sir Charles Wheeler

We are very sad to learn of the death of Sir Charles Wheeler, patron of Human Writes, who passed away peacefully at his home on 4th July 2008, aged 85 years.  Sir Charles was an inspiration to so many people, working tirelessly for many decades in most of the world's trouble spots and becoming the BBC's longest-serving foreign correspondent.  He will always be remembered for his integrity and humanity which shone through in his many years of journalism.  We were honoured to have him as a patron of Human Writes and his support and encouragement over the years has been a real inspiration.   He will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.  copyright © 2008 human writes sitemap | ror | text url list website : beachshore home | about us | becoming a penfriend | prisoner art & writing | posters | conference reports | resources shop | contact us
