Friends,

We are sad to announce that the State of Alabama took the life of Willie B. Smith III tonight at Holman Prison. Our thoughts are with Willie’s wife, mother, family, spiritual advisor and friends as well as with his dedicated and generous attorneys.

                          Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison 10.20.21

Unless there is a stay, Willie B. Smith III will be executed tomorrow by the state of Alabama. Weather permitting we will show our respect and solidarity for our brother by refraining from sports and wearing our dress whites for yard where we will observe moments of silence and prayer on Tuesday, today and tomorrow. We will gather in a circle sharing memories of Willie and praying that somehow he may be comforted by our prayers and thoughts.
