Olivia O'Leary talks to two people who have had similar experiences. This week she speaks to two people who have chosen to write to prisoners on death row in the United States and asks how they face the devastating consequences of their friendship. Lawyer Edmund Connybeare is currently writing to a man who as been on death row for 20 years. Pamela Thomas is a middle-aged, middle-class mother of three who says she acted on impulse because she wanted to reach out to someone in trouble. She eventually witnessed her penfriend's execution.
