When Death Row Women Turn on Each Other

Many years ago I had some trouble with the women on Pennsylvania death row. The way they twisted and turned my words to and about each other after years of friendship and the quickness with which they turned on each other was a rude awakening for me but it also helped me narrow my focus.  My stark opposition to the death penalty wasn't my focus. What I really wanted to do was give an alternative lifestyle to those living there forever. Basically so mean bitches like that have a little more trouble turning prison into the Criminal University we all know it is.

Believe it or not, a lot of these "evil bitches" dont want to live in a violent environment anymore. They dont want the fighting and deaths, the bullying and scare tactics and the constant drama. There are a percentage of women on death row and serving LWOP that realize this is their lifelong home and simply want to exist in peace. Some are guilty of their murderous crimes, others caught up in governmental flubs and red tape, but they are there and they want to be heard.

The whole situation in Texas reminds me of the Pennsylvania debacle. This situation revolves around Darlie Routier and the 3 -5 letters a month I get sometimes from other inmates with complaints about her. I have always been a supporter of hers but the things I hear she does in there make me wonder about her level of manipulation. I also try to keep the Pennsylvania lessons in the forefront of my mind in dealing with these Texas women. I hear she is ruthless if you arent in her clique, that she has pull with the guards and can take inmates jobs and other privileges away. If you fall out of her favor bad things can happen to you there. More than one inmate has told me she made a public announcement to all on their block that the prison would have me shut down and I am not legally able to make these revealing posts. The lesson reminders kick in and I wonder if these other inmates have some secret vendetta or manipulative plot of their own.

All I can say is if she has done ans said any of the things Ive ben told she has, I am reconsidering my stance on her guilt.

Let this serve as a little snippet of the life I lead with these women for your examination.

    Darlie has a history of being "Weird " starting way back when she fist was waiting trial.I have heard some of her Guards talk about how she would sing naked in her cell, always showing off her boobs.There were also the letters Greg Confiscated from Phil Adams ( now an inmate at Huntsville) that he and Darile were writing sexual type letters back and forth There was also the Jail inmate who turned Darlie in for planning to eacape.They would talk through the vents at Lew Sterrit Justice Center..they called it Darlie Live..I would be interested in hearing some of what you know about her jailhouse behaviour

Darlie Routier Texas

I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system.  I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...

Heather Birden Connecticut

Holly Aeschlimann Holly Aeschlimann, 19 was murdered in Connecticut in April of 2015. This case is amazingly close to that of Rachel Wade. Holly and her killer, Heather Birden, 20, had a longstanding dislike for each other. Heather had stabbed another girl, a juvenile, once before in 2014. She was  held in Niantic Correctional Facility for next three months before the murder as a result of a violation of her probation, and was then released to an in-patient substance abuse rehabilitation facility. Reports state that Birden asked her boyfriend for his knife and then left his house to find Holly stating "I have to end this tonight." Witnesses say Heather arrived and the two began to fight, ending in Holly being stabbed in the head and neck at a crosswalk outside an apartment complex in Torrington, CT.  Her friends rushed her to the hospital where she died.  Heather was hiding under a vehicle a short distance away and feigned confusion when police found her. She spen...

Brenda Andrew Execution date

     Brenda Andrew is the only woman on Oklahoma death row. She is there for the murder of her husband by her and her boyfriend James Pavatt.      Brenda does not answer letters. It seems she may still have a bit of that pretentious attitude left over from her days as a respected deacons wife. Those days are over, hun.      There is no scheduled execution date for Brenda yet. Oklahoma lists its dates of execution for the prison she is in here .      Every time I read about this case I am utterly amazed at how stupid these two people were. She may as well have advertised their guilt on a billboard in front of the house. Both Andrew's and Pavatt's appeal were systematically denied without comment in 2008. The little Scorned episode "The Sunday School Killers" at the top of this post is about Brenda and James and its only $1.99 so its worth the money. Appearance White Female; 5 ft. 3 in. tall; 110 pounds; Bro...
