Letters from Death Row


The artwork on this page was created by Bill Leonard, Ely State Prison, NV, U.S.A



On 16th February, 2012, I received my first letter from my new pen-pal, William Leonard (or Bill, as he likes to be called), a prisoner on Death Row, Ely, Nevada, USA.


Bill was born in 1960 and has been incarcerated since 1981. He has spent approximately 27 of the 39 years in solitary confinement and at the time of writing to me, he hadn't had contact with a living soul for two months.

His heart-wrenching letter is featured below.
