Dear Visitor,
Randy has dedicated significant time and effort to improving himself through educational advancement and creative expression. He holds a Paralegal/Legal Assistant diploma from Blackstone Career Institute and has earned certificates from multiple educational programs while on Polunsky Unit’s Death Row. Randy was also actively involved in the production of Polunsky Unit’s inmate-run radio station, 106.5 The Tank.
Randy’s written work is available to read under the Journals, Memoirs, and Creative Works tabs. He has always enjoyed writing to express his creativity, and also as a means of therapy. His journals, ongoing since 2005, have allowed his friends and supporters to keep up with his life, as well as chart the growth and maturity that has bloomed in Randy over the years. He has also chosen to write about his life as part of his “giving back,” in the hope that others can learn from his experiences and how to avoid making the mistakes he did.
We thank you for taking an interest in Randy's life, his achievements, and his work.

Randy helped produce and create several programs on the inmate-run radio station. The shows that he directly created include:
The Classic TV Lounge - played audio from classic television shows for the older-generation inmates that wanted to reminisce
Saturday Night Live in Concert - a Saturday night show that spotlighted music concerts and comedy
Lizard Lounge Presents: The Co-Producer’s Spotlight - Randy selected the music that would play Friday nights from 9 PM to 10 PM
He also orchestrated donation drives for resources for The Tank.
Randy continues to participate in 106.5 The Tank’s programs while awaiting his trial in Dallas County Jail.
Randy wrote to author Jeffrey Brown a few years ago, who sent this card in return.
