How does a DR inmate have a blog?

I thought this was a rather ignorant question but none the less i will address it.  A DR prisoner is still an American citizen and is still protected by the Constitution.   Among those protections are "Freedom of Speech".   DR inmates have every right to write and express themselves.   If you do not like this then do not come to a DR inmate's blog and read it.  DR inmates, and in fact any inmate is not allowed access to the internet.  But compassionate and kind people such as myself recognize that these condemned people are not "throw away" and matter.  Some are innocent.  Our nation has a rate of 3 exonerations per week right now, so remember that please.  Not everyone is guilty in prison and on DR.  Shawna Forde is one of those people and that shall be proven on her next appeal.   Murdering a person for murdering a person  makes about as much sense as raping a person for raping a person, unless your not smarter than a 1st grader.   If you believe in this primitive type of society then you have alot in common with the countries of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, North Korea, China, Iran and other barbaric places and perhaps should ask yourself why?  Americans are the last superpower and they are compassionate, educated, civilized human beings and need to join the rest of the free civilized countries.   

Reminder any abusive comments will be reported along with the IP address they came from.  Negative comments will be removed and comments shut off if they persist.   If you cannot say politely, it doesnt need to be said.....just because it's the internet doesnt mean it's a free for all.  Thanks, Rae & other editors

Shawna's email

For those that would like to ask questions of Shawna, but maybe do not want to write to her, she now has an email address  shawnaforde101@yahoo.com   This is how it will work:  1.  Send your question/comments to her email.  2.  I will be checking the email and when i find an email for her i will print it out and send it to her.  3.  when she sends the answer i will reply with it to the email that sent it.  
You may ask questions about her case, but understand there are some things she cannot directly respond to because of litigation.    You may send her general correspondence also or comments.  I mail Shawna usually at least 1x per week.  You need to give her a couple weeks to respond because it takes my mail 4 days to reach her, the staff must read the mail there and check it for contraband/appropriateness and get it to her.  She has to have stamps, she has to have her outgoing mail examined and read also and it takes another 4 days just in transit.  She may have to conserve her stamps at times and that can cause delays.  Thanks for your patience!!
