Cultural Writing. Memoir. These edited letters and diaries are a
moving account of the unusual friendship between Andrew Lee Jones
and Jane Officer. 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 organization based in
England. Andrew was 35, poor, black and a convicted criminal; his
English friend was white, middle class and 55. She traveled to the
USA for the first time in her life to plead for Andrew's life at a
Pardon Board hearing, and spent his last few hours with him and his
family.
