Patrick B. Knight, a death row inmate in the Polunsky Unit in Hunstville Texas has an execution date of June 26. He has a strange request, however. He is asking that people send him jokes. Instead of being "Dead Man Walking," he wants to be known as "Dead Man Laughing."

Cheating the Executioner - Texas Death Row Prisoners

Texas has the largest population of prisoners on death row than any other death sentence state. It may be assumed that the taxpayers of Texas are in some ways given a break by the short life span expected of these prisoners.

Lloyd I find it very arrogant of you that you think you can judge someone's mental capacity based on a couple of pages of an interview. I think if anyone needs help it is someone such as yourself who has such illusions of grandeur in his own psychological analytical skills. To say Sandie is "sad" I find laughable - you are the one who is busy feeling sorry for someone who is clearly more fulfilled than yourself. God bless you Lloyd and your ill placed worries about someone who doesn't need them.

Hi Sandie i just want you to know that you are a special person. i wish you the best and want you & chucky to know the two of you will be in my prayers. there are marriages on the outside where one mate feels he/she is imprisoned, regardless of the crime he may or may not have committed he is human and we all deserved to be loved. we make mistakes in life and only GOD can judge us so keep your head up and follow you heart. tell charles harold an old friend says hey!

To Deez, thats ok, was just trying to put apoint across, i suppose i believe in my heart as well as my head,my gut instincts have never let me down yet, you know something I have been on the other side too,wishing that someone would die, because of a crime someone committed towards my young neice, thing is the man did kill himself,my whole family jumped with joy i admit that, my neice survived and never got to hear a verdict, she didnt wish him dead, she wanted proper justice, and wanted him to serve the rest of his life in prison to have his freedom taken away. Because he died, she never got over that fact, she went on to self harm herself years of counselling, shes 19 now and only just started to have alife. Death doesnt always pay. Im still learning as i go, looking through alot of cases, and maybe people judge too quick however if people really looked into the case of different inmates on death row, I mean the trial transcripts not all is what it seems. Maybe the criminology course

To Deez who ever you are, everyone has their own opinion of the death penalty, however that does not give you the right to judge me does it, in fact im not nuts, far from it, thing is doesnt take much to be pleasent to someone, or have a qualification as a CO,that is not against some of the CO's as i do have alot of respect for some of them.
