Thomas

About me:

This is an Anti Death Penalty site, however as Thomas has no access to the internet this page is run by his friends. This is an unoffical site for Thomas. He has no control of any kind as to what gets put onto this page.

The main aim of this page is to highlight the life and struggles of Texas’ Death Row inmates and to bring awareness not simply to Thomas’ case but to the long hard fight faced by the many men and women who are also currently sat in Texas’ “steel tombs”.

Thomas was born and raised in Fort Bend County Texas.

Thomas has been incarcerated since 2005 and has been on Death Row since the 23rd March 2007.

The people connected with this site and who know Thomas ARE prepared to take a stand and fight for something that we believe is wrong. As individual people our voices would be lost, but as a group we can make a difference.

We are not excusing what Thomas has done, as there are no excuses. But we believe that the Death Penalty is not the right answer in this case or any other case.

We simply ask that you come to this page with an open and non-judgemental mind. What you take from the information is up to you.

Thomas’ case and situation is only one of thousands not only across America but also across the world whose governments believe that this punishment is justified.

Thomas still has hope that things can change, but for many it is already too late.

Please take some time to think about the consequences of this “cruel and unusual punishment”. Whether we like it or not, as a society we must take responsibility for the actions of the politicians who use this as a “political tool”.

“It takes strength to endure abuses…it takes courage to stop them.”

Together we CAN and WILL make a difference, along with the many other thousands of people and groups, to hopefully abolish the Death Penalty for good!!!!


I would urge people who have not seen the film "Dead Man Walking" to watch this clip of the execution scene. This scene had a huge effect on me when i first saw it and it continues to do so. This clip maybe from a film...but the truth is this scene is played out FOR REAL somewhere almost every day!!

Maybe by watching this clip someone maybe shocked into thinking about the subject and maybe give some thought as to what they can do to get involved to change the reality.

Some crimes are horrific and there are no excuses for them. But death does not provide the answer; it is simply retaliation to the crime NOT a punishment.

"You can take away our names and replace them with numbers, cage and store us in conditions not even fit for your family dog, and exterminate us at your whim, but we are still human beings, capable of everything from love and beauty to violence and hate."
