Voices for Death Row Inmates Banner of Hope

Voices for Death Row inmates got together with London artist Carrie Riechadrt and came up with the idea of a Hankies for Hope banner ... this banner is made from cotton hankies .. hankies being something we wipe tears of sadness away with. During the time the death penalty was in practice in the United Kingdom, the judge when passing a death sentence would place a black hankie on his head as he did so .
Each hankie represents a soul , a soul awaiting their fate or already executed . The name, prison ID number and State is written on the hankie. There are also birds flying free. Bird cages ,hearts , angels , candl
es , leaves and flowers painted onto the banner, again all symbolic.
They have been stitched together with orange ribbons between each one , orange being the colour of oppression and the colour of the jumpsuit a death row inmate wears when being moved from one place to another ... so this banner is very symbolic in everyway
This banner has grown over the last few months …but we want people to add the names of their loved ones and pen pals to the Banner of Hope.

If you would like to add a name of an inmate who has been executed or is on death row please contact us via our facebook page or via our website
Below see our Banner of Hope SO FAR!! More names will be added soon

  1. Please Help us. My loved one and friend is on death death in Ohio. He was convicted on circumstantial evidence and has an albino the places him away from the scene at the time of the crime...but the state with held those part of the cell phone records. He defended himself at the trail phase, cause capital defense is costly and he didn't trust public defenders with his life on their hands. His trial was not conducted correctly, despite. Someone needs to have this matter revisited immediately. So that another innocent man doesn't die on death row from technicalities such as race, or lack of financial resources....or the state just needing someone to fit a crime they want to show the public the solved. Read over this case of Joseph Mcalpin and sign the petition to get this Infront of Ohio State governor. The state has so many cases before it, those in the system that could help us may not even be aware, and my friendau be greased through this death process. Thank you for all your help in advance and your signature. We're almost there, less than 300 to go and everyone one counts. Please help save my loved ones life. Just click the link below. High vibes.
