To
whom it may concern,
My name is Johnny Yahya Harris, and I am being held on death row
at SCI-Graterford. Do allow me to give a brief summary of the darkness
that has surrounded my state of being for the last eleven years. I will
commence by stating that I am engaged in a battle to overcome the
death sentence imposed upon me by this bloodthirsty State. I am a man
sentenced to death without any physical evidence linking me to this
crime. This State, through zealous prosecution, and persecution, managed
to attain a conviction on their third try; two prior trials resulted in mistrials. This is inconceivable to
any practitioner of law. When Dealing with an unjust system of
oppression, you are faced with many evils that will not stop until they
have you imprisoned. It’s an on going struggle for life each day in
this environment, as it is when I was a free young-man on the streets of
Philly (
Philadelphia
). However, I offer these words because a human heart can only be torn
asunder for so long, before it is hardened, and the fighting positive
spirit is caused to deteriorate to the point where a human being becomes
someone other than himself. The psychological torture I am forced to
endure can only be sustained but for so long, before it starts taking
you under. As a man working hard to maintain his sanity, I am reaching
out to you (those whom are caring and willing to help save a good heart)
for whatever support that can be given to a man in my position.
As a mature man I must keep fighting against this system in order
to maintain a sense of balance in my life, this way I won’t fall
victim to this diabolical place. I don’t want to fall into the deep
dark waters (ignorance, hatred, lies, and deceit) that besiege my
vitality. This is why I am reaching out to you, in order to keep my mind
where it should be; on productive matters.
It’s my sincere hope that you ( whomever is reading what I’ve
written) will take the time to engage in some serious dialogue with me,
to explore the many facets of life. I would like to venture with you on
a journey that will produce a meaningful and everlasting friendship. I
am looking to grow in knowledge, so an open mind is needed. My words are
not sent to garner sympathy, because light of truth shall shine, one day,
over my head. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Long
live the struggle of life that we all must ENDURE!
