To Whom It May Concern,

Hello, my name is Kenneth Thompson. I am 37 years old. I am currently on Death Row in Arizona. Though my conviction only happened a few months ago, I have been locked up for eight years. All of which was solitary confinement where I was only allowed out of my cell for ½ an hour a day.

I don’t really have my family and, well, friends sort of just forget about you after a while. I really do not have anyone to talk to anymore and haven’t for almost five years. Being here in prison, mail is the only thing I have to look forward to and I don’t have any but I see all the other guys getting mail. Honestly, I am jealous so I am giving this a shot.

So where to start. I was recently sentenced to death, which sucks. I live in a cage, which I am only allowed out of in cuffs. Emotionally I am in a dark place and I could really use a friend.

I was born and raised in Alaska. I was big on hunting, fishing, and hiking. We were very poor so the hunting and fishing were mandatory if we wanted to eat. I enjoy working with my hands.

I am lonesome and am reaching out, hoping to find real friendship. I am hoping to develop meaningful relationships with people. So, if you are interested, please write. Send a joke and a picture. I have a dark sense of humor and love a good laugh.

Your next friend,

Kenny Thompson
