In July 1991 Andrew Lee Jones became the last person to die in 'Old Sparky', Louisiana's electric chair. Over the preceding fifteen months, Andrew corresponded with Jane Officer, an English woman whom he met through a penfriend organisation based in England. Andrew was 35, poor, black and a convicted criminal; Jane was white, middle class and 55. These edited letters are a moving account of their unusual but important friendship.
