Profile

Brandon Basham

 

My name is Brandon Basham. I'm 24 years old and am currently the youngest person on Federal death row. I've been here for a year and it's a real lonely place. I am originally from the State of Kentucky. Was born and raised there. I am a single white guy, never married and I've not fathered any children. These are things which I think about a lot. I'll likely never have an opportunity to experience a normal life on the otuside. that's a depressing and disturbing prospect.

I spend my time here doing things in order to occupy my mind, body and spirit. I love to read, including self-help, spiritual and educational books. For pleasure I read books by Stephen King, John Grisom and many others. I love watching movies on TV and listening to music on my walkman.

I stay in tip top physical shape by working out three to five times a week. I do exercises for strength, endurance and for cardiovascular health. We aren't allowed to lift weights, do pull-ups, etc. so I'm required to get creative with my workout program. My physical description is: Solid, athletic build with great muscle tone, 5' 10", 192 pounds, brown hair and eyes.

I have many interests including beaches, the outdoors, swimming, cycling, nature, meeting new people and living life to the fullest when possible.

I am the youngest of two children. My sister is several years older than me. I'm fortunate to have her and my niece in my life. Our mother died this past July (2005) which has left a void in my heart. I also am thankful to have friends. I hope that someone reading this profile will decide to write me. Receiving mail from those of you on the outside would mean a lot. I promise to answer all letters promptly. Thanks for reading about me.
