[Originally published on a weblog called “What Is Liberalism?”]

I spoke with Cory Maye’s attorney, Bob Evans, today, and asked him what measures might be taken to help Cory Maye. One idea that we discussed was a letter writing campaign to Maye. Being on death row is about as awful and isolated a place as any human being can possibly be. We can offer some small measure of solace to Maye by writing to him and letting him know that he is not forgotten, and that there are people who care about his case and are following it with interest.

Mr. Evans suggests that all mail be sent to his office. He will then take it to Maye. This is the address he provided me with:

Bob Evans Attorney
PO Box 636
Monticello, MS 39654

PS. Evans said the recent attention on the internet has greatly raised Maye’s spirits. Evans has printed out some of the weblog posts about Maye and taken them in to show him. Evans said a letter writing campaign would be “a very good idea.”

PSS. We want people to stay focused on the case. The problem with weblogs is that as soon as an issue slides off the front page, it is forgotten. Laura Denyes has made some buttons that you can put in the side bar of your weblog, to help keep attention on the case. Please go to this page and consider putting one of these buttons on your website.
