Weekly Report from the Board meeting at Holman Prison

The meeting began with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday. We have some good voices on the Board and it was much appreciated!

We discussed the various positive lethal injection news around the country, the upcoming edition of our newsletter and an interview tomorrow on the New American Radio Show. It is always helpful to get input and to be able to bounce ideas off each other.

We of phadp are proud that Antoinette Bosco is a member of our advisory board and even more importantly our dear, dear friend of many years. We love you Toni!

Weekly Report from the Board Meeting at Holman Prison

We discussed details about the 2012 Alabama Families of Prisoners Conference in Gardendale, July 27th-28th and that we hope to see many at my workshop CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LWOP AND DEATH ROW FAMILY MEMBERS.
We are very grateful to the organizers for inviting us.

Below is an abbreviated report by Alabama Arise policy analyst Stephen Stetson of yesterday's actions at the Alabama State House and contact for Senator Cam Ward. Our thanks to Alabama Arise and Stephen! May we suggest that you contact Senator Ward and thank him for his suggestion that next year will see consideration of a full slate of death penalty bills, including public hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Congratulations, Connecticut and our respect to Governor Malloy, who we quote:
 
"Although it is an historic moment – Connecticut joins 16 other states and the rest of the industrialized world by taking this action – it is a moment for sober reflection, not celebration."

The decision of a North Carolina Court to ban the death penalty for a man under the Racial Justice Act was welcomed by all of us. Another step in the right direction!
