What exactly is your case Mr Clark? I read your pleadings/dockets. I see NOTHING regarding evidence (new/undisclosed) that would warrant a new trial. Your number is about to come up. Why not blog about your crimes? Just saying that you are a good writer. Use this time to talk about your crimes. Purge if you will.
I have been silent on this issue re: medical concerns of Ronald Clark but I'm going to put my thoughts out here now.
It never was and is not my intention to taunt Mr Clark.
"Twice convicted of first-degree murder, Clark, 43, has been awaiting his execution for 21 years."
I have a very difficult time feeling empathy for Mr. Clark. He continues to engage the system to provide him health care. I get that. What I DON'T get is restorative care. I'm all for pain management. I think the DOC is doing that. I think that is all that he deserves.
Personally, I have been fighting a battle to get my insurance to pay for my foot surgery. I am 60 years old and my employment has always involved being on my feet. I pay taxes.
I have extensively researched Mr. Clark's case. While I will not disclose (fear factor) I was a victim of Clark as well.
Clark is getting close to a death warrant and when that happens I will feel that justice has been done.
In the interim, I would treat Mr Clark for pain...the same as you would for an animal. Nobody should be forced to live with pain. Whether his is real or imaginary matters not. He does have RX available.
By the way, my health is perfect. I think you know I was ill for a while, but God has saved my life and healed me. God is so good!!!! Some day I will try to send you a picture to show you how beautiful she is. Please do not try to contact her!!!! It will not be good for her yet. I do not want her to hear the stories of how you are innocent and I do not want to hear of it either. Everyone in prison says they are innocent. You did do the crime you are incarcerated for. You should admit to it. I will be honest and think you definitely got too long of a sentence, however. It is too long for the crime. So I do not understand that, but you did do the crime. You made a mistake. I forgive you for that and God forgives you. Forgive yourself and be honest with yourself and everyone else about it. You should not have gotten such a long sentence though!!! That was wrong of them..... God knows the truth and there must be a reason for it. Just trust in the Lord and have faith in Jesus Christ and just like all of us Christians who believe you someday will be in the Kingdom of God. We are all only here on this earth for really only a short mist of time and then we will be in Heaven for eternity. Even though you are in prison you can still be good and follow God's commandments and serve the Lord because one day you will have to answer to God, when the time comes and you meet Him in Heaven. Pray and be a disciple of the Lord while you are in Prison.... serve Him and good things will come to you!!!! I do think Alexia does love who her dad is and someday she will meet you. Also, soon I will show her the things you sent her. I have saved them and God will put it in my heart when the time is right. I will show her everything then. I will pray about this poem and I may show her. I am afraid it might make her sad though...... so I am not sure. Just remember though....she doesn't have to search for you. She knows where you are.... she knows you as much as she can. She knows you are her Dad. So sorry you made a mistake, but we forgive you. Just forgive yourself and love the Lord and all will be well. I wish you joy in your heart and good health so you can someday meet your beautiful daughter. Blessings to you always, Sue
I am a born again Christian as are my two oldest children. God has changed us and put so much love and joy in our heart that can only come from the Lord and the Holy Spirit. God is doing such amazing things in all of our lives. My oldest son wants to be a Pastor. He just returned from a Mission trip from Haiti and told me stories about his journey in Haiti and how the Haitian people are so loving and full of God's love and they have so much faith. The stories of what he saw there just touched my heart and spirit and it made me cry. I think hearing so much about Haiti made me think of you and saddens my heart...maybe about how hard your life must have been there and about now what has become of your life. God put it in my heart to think of you and to look you up. I was thinking of trying to get in touch with you a while back because Alexia has been asking about you some and also would really and mostly like to know more about her relatives on your side of the family. She wants to know if she has cousins and uncles and aunts and grandparents and I would like to know if it would be possible to get in contact with any of them. I want to let her know your side of the family. I know that would be good for her!!! Could you please somehow give me that information for her???? That would be great for her!!!! God put it in my heart and basically told me to contact you.... when God tells you to do something... you must obey Him and I did. After reading this touching poem, I had to reply to it here. So that is why I replied here. I don't know how to get in contact with you so you could send me information about your relatives so I could contact them for Alexia. With God's will and grace and perfect timing He will let me know in my heart when I should let Alexia have contact with you. She is doing so well and is happy in her life and at school I do not want to disturb any of it. I don't want it to be confusing for her etc. But like I said somehow when she is 18 years old... an adult... we will figure out a way to visit you so she can meet you. I have always planned on that and was always going to let her meet you, but wanted her to be old enough and mature enough to go to a prison etc. Sue
Dear Childeric, You were very close.... Alexia Jordyn's birthday is actually June 4, 2000 and yes she is 14 now. She has never been told anything bad about you. I promise. Do not make me out to be someone that is bad. I would never say anything to hurt her ever and do not want her to think she has a bad dad. I have been very honest with her as much as possible. I did have to be honest with her and tell her about the crime you are incarcerated for and tried to make it be as positive as possible. I told her the truth about that as much as I could. I am always honest with her. I do have to tell you that your poem is absolutely beautiful and it actually almost brought tears to my eyes because it is so beautiful! I know you love her and I have told her that. To be honest I have not yet showed her anything you have sent her from the past. I haven't done it yet. I have told her that we would visit you and I would let her meet you when she was 18. I don't want anything to affect her at this time in anyway negatively. I am not saying that you are a bad person, but to have a father in prison is a difficult thing. She is an absolutely beautiful beautiful girl!!!! Really she is gorgeous!!!! She is tall like you and I am not sure if she is done growing yet. She is 5'8 or around there. I am not sure of her exact height. She has long black beautiful spiral hair and big brown eyes and a big beautiful smile and perfect teeth. She looks like both of us. I can see you in her... I really saw you in her more when she was younger. Her brother who is now 20 thinks and says she looks like me and also him. Some of her friends say she doesn't look black but looks Spanish or something??? Not sure why exactly..... her skin is a beautiful beautiful golden brown color. Like I told you she is gorgeous and only gets more and more beautiful as time goes on. Alexia is very smart (at this time she knows she will go to college and is thinking of doing something in medicine)..... I have told her that her dad is smart.... and you are. I told her that I thought her dad was very intelligent and you are. She is a freshman in HS and is in the Marching Band at school and loves that. She plays the French horn and is quite good at it, of course. She is also in Show Choir where she sings and dances and performs. She did play tennis in Middle School and tried it in HS but didn't like it this year and quit it. She is looking forward to basketball and will try that this year as well. She was in track in the MS mostly throwing shot put and throwing discus. She thinks she wants to try soccer this spring instead of track, but we will see as she hasn't played soccer for so long.
Bald looks good on you. Better Bald than to have hair down your back or braided like a little girl. Looks like you have lost weight. It looks good on you either way since you always look good. Your artwork is beautiful. You have a great talent. I hope you keep copies of your drawings. I ray for you constantly. I know you have a pure soul and are a wonderful person. I pray the heavens will open up and one day you will be released to make a positive impact in your community. You have done a great job in improving your life, I am proud of you. Cowboys to Girls.

Photographs [underlined]
I recently saw a news story about a lady who got her wedding pictures back 13 years after she thought they were lost forever in 9/11. She was so [underlined] happy, and the story was interesting enough to put it on the news, so it made me start thinking...people obviously [underlined] recognize the importance of photos of special life events. They treasure their own, and they cheer when others are reunited with theirs. Everybody understands, even if they've never given it a lot of thought, that having a picture of something is so, so much more than only having your memory of it. The picture keeps the memory alive, the moment real.
It makes me wonder why so many people are so blasé and dismissive, then, when it comes to making sure their friends and family who are stuck in cages have access to their [underlined] photos. I know that many people do [underlined] send prisoners photos, but so many do not, even when a prisoner (who is also a sibling or son or close friend), lets them know how much it means to him to get photos -memories- from the real world. There's no use pretending I'm not talking largely about my own experience here (or that I'm not a little bit bitter about it), but I know from the hundreds of others I've talked to here in the gulags that my experience isn't unusual. It's the norm. I realize that they often just don't understand the pain of this kind of living death-people value pictures of their "special" moments, but they've never experienced the loss unique to prisoners that makes EVERY moment special if it occurred outside the cage. People normally never think twice about daily events, because they'll be experiencing those same things, and new things, tomorrow, next week, and next year. It's hard to imagine "living" a life in which there are [underlined] no new memories, no experiences worth [underlined] thinking about ever again, ever. I don't expect non-prisoners to fully get it, but they should at least fully get that something beyond their experience (and nightmares) is happening to their loved ones-so send them those old photos. New ones too, but the old are special, they bring back to life moments your friends actually lived. A photo of a pet, or a house, or some boring thing you see every day...for a prisoner, if he also saw it in person, especially if he took [underlined] the photo, or is in it-not a studio portrait but a real-life scene he lived-you'll be shining a light back to him, brighter than you may ever imagine.
