The Democratic party, the Pope, and many other groups are pushing for Biden to grant clemency to us on federal death row. It's sad that our life is worth only a few seconds on CNN, and nothing more. #Commutetherow #clemencyforedgar #edgargarcia

But when Trump executed 13 people here, we got a little more time and attention. Nobody took the time to mention some of us who ended up here due to being housed in the most violent prison at the time we caught our case. Furthermore, the stats on prison murders,
how biased our situation truly is. In the history of the B.O.P. (Federal Bureau of Prisons), there are 287 documented incidents resulting in death. 84 of them, or 30%, are currently serving life, and 167 actually have release dates. I am 3.6% who received a death sentence.
Why is the Eastern District of Texas not being red flagged when it is the only area in this country accumulating such a high rate of death sentences, 70%, when there are around 200 federal institutions with 200,000 prisoners across this country.
What determines the worth of a person's life to the media? A CEO who was murdered in NYC and all the people in Syria make the majority of the news these days. A murderer holds more weight to the possibility of forty staged murders in the eyes of CNN, and all major news networks?
Nobody speaks to the fact that some of us have exhausted any programming available or reached out to the community and left a positive print from here, or the fact that some have invested in our own education and rehabilitation through our own means due to the system refusing to offer much
to individuals like me. All I hear is mental illness and learning disabilities, abuse etc.... Same ole stories. Nobody highlights the growth of those who deserve it. Those who shared creative articles, art projects, and pieces of our stories that help others to avoid our mistakes,
