when we look at the actual death row population in the US (all states) vs. free roaming citizens NOT accused NOR CONVICTED of murder....you are an "elite group".
can you tell me ONE reason why society would not rid the bad seed? Hell, we do that in our gardens. We rid the bad seed from a bushel of apples.
hopefully, someday, the death penalty will be a deterrent for violent crime.
YOU, Mr. Clarke are on death row after your murder trial. Did your victim and/or his family have the solice YOU seek for yourself and others on the row that have taken the lives of others?
I think not. NOW, when the rope tighens, you want to scream about a society that is unfair.
Your rap sheet reads a little different. Manny's does, too (RIP). He did the crime, now he did the time. You will as well. I don't believe anyone is cheering. We just cannot allow monsters to roam free in society. You (as well as Manny and MANY others) have proven that the victims have a voice.

I will write you directly I no you have your own problems to worry about. I hope to hear from you soon take care of yourself P.S Ronnie I like that skull it's cool all of your art work is nice i don't see how you do it i suck at that kind of stuff your friend John
Hello Rob, please forgive me for not calling you "Russ", you have just always been Rob to me. Just got your letter and card today, thank you. As Im sure you know, I am not very good at writing and sending you photos, for that, I am sorry. I cant even begin to tell you how many times I have started to write, planned to write, thought about writing,,,,but didn't. Im hoping this blog thing gives us an opportunity to catch up, and so that I can go on and on about the wonderful Man our Son is becoming, and the amazing Father he is learning to be. I wish you could see the way Jess is with our Grandson Tyler. I am so proud of him! I can't believe Tyler is already a year old! I love him so much. I have so much to tell you, but it is late, I will talk to you soon, Dona
This is not a direct reply to your post of Dec. 18, 2012, but I thought this would be fine place to write to you. I discovered your blog when looking through the "Write a Prisoner" website (admittedly, out of morbid curiosity). I feel conflicted about writing to you, as I have done a bit of research into your crimes. However, I don't think that those who are imprisoned for their deeds should be forgotten or considered beyond redemption.
You should be commended for continuing to nurture your mind as you spend your time in prison. I was an English major and spent many years filling my brain with literary theory, including a semester-long course on our mutual literary "friend", Edgar Allan Poe. His poem, "The Bells", has remained one of my favourites. It's haunting, and beautiful. I wonder what your favourites are when considering his oeuvre. I would be happy to discuss literature with you if you'd like to exercise that part of your brain in conversation with another.
Christmas must be an interesting time in prison. Do you have any observations on this festive season from where you are?
I read a bit of your writing on the nature of personality. I am also interested in personality formation, and other matters of the mind - dreaming, the effects of parenting techniques on personality, and intelligence. I saw the saga of your IQ testing -- I was tested back in high school, and was disappointed to discover that though I was gifted linguistically, my very poor performance in math-related questions brought my final score down. I suppose I am not very well-rounded. So, I hover at 117, last I was checked. Above-average, but not Mensa-worthy. My years spent poring over a Mensa trivia book were all for naught, it seems. How much access do you have to new library materials for you to continue learning and using that brain of yours?
Anyway, I must go, but I wish you a most Merry Christmas. Perhaps I will hear from you at some point.
