I have now gained my freedom once again after 27 years of incarceration. I wish to express my most sincere and heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful and splendid job that you and your colleagues have done for me in my time of need and despair.” RAJENDRA KRISHNA Former death row prisoner, Trinidad and Tobago


In my year as an intern with the Death Penalty Project, I was given an insight into the reality of life and death for condemned prisoners in the 21st Century. While this has often been shocking to confront, I have also been inspired by seeing at first-hand how the law can be used to overturn unfair and out-dated practices. I return to my university course with fresh determination to put into practice what I have learned while working with the DPP team.” KATIE JOYCE Student, BA with human rights National University of Ireland, Galway


I believe that the successes of the Death Penalty Project in recent years are unmatched by any other organisation in the world of its size that provides legal representation to indigent death row inmates. I can think of no pair of death penalty litigators in the world who have been as effective as Parvais Jabbar and Saul Lehrfreund. Even more amazingly, they do it on a shoestring budget.” PROFESSOR MICHAEL L. RADELET, PhD University of Colorado


The impact of the work of the DPP in Kenya and Commonwealth Africa is immense, because over the last five years the highest courts in Uganda, Malawi and Kenya have handed down decisions on mandatory death sentences which can all be directly linked to the assistance rendered by DPP.” TIMOTHY BRYANT Attorney, Kenya
