Who do you tell that you write to Death Row? I told my two closest friends straight away and their reactions were fine. One finds it amusing and teases me at times but at the same time he says its a nice thing to do and the other is interested but wouldn't do it herself.
I vowed not to tell anyone else because of an incident in the pub when a guy overheard me talking about it with my friends. He was up for a discussion on it which I naively entered into and he berated me totally! He was really insulting and nasty and almost reduced me to tears and I was completely unprepared for it!
So I wondered how everyone here goes about telling people or if they ever do?

well, i havent told anyone yet, but....most people in germany are against the DP. and when i say most i mean most most!
sure, we all wanna revenge...for a moment...when terrible news break. like a 7 year old child was raped and murdered. or a mom to be was killed. but we cool down...and stay calm. i dont believe anyone feels better after an execution took place. if someone said so...LIAR

all my close friends/family know but it's the norm to them now. they ask how my penpal is all the time.
I don't tend to tell new people I meet though, just because it's easy for people to judge you for doing it and like 'pumpkinpie' said, it's my business at the end of the day.

I would actually get in trouble for it. My husband would be pissed if he knew I was writing to an inmate. He would not approve. He is very closed minded.
So, my plan is to use a different return address, just in case I seem important enough to the inmate to actually write back. I have so many questions about what that persons daily thoughts are, and I do not want to deal with what my husband thinks about it. I have learned to keep my secrets to myself. From everyone. I trust no one. And I'm okay with that.

No, my friends and my father don´t know about i, and they wouldn´t understand, although Brazil has no capital punishment since 1890, people still think that is an ideal way to "serve the justice.
