  1. 06/24/2005 Sentence commuted to life #1306423  September 3, 2004 I am on Death Row in the State of Texas. I came here in August 2004. I am younger than the other inmates, I'm only 18. Being down here is an unusual, and sometimes difficult experience. I'm just looking for someone  to keep my spirit up. I'm not worried about an age, just someone with a good heart. Someone who could relate to me. I am 6'2", with a thin build, and I like to play Basketball. I enjoy listening to rap, rock, and trans. I liked to go out to eat, and the movies, but... in here. If  I sound like a good person of interest. I would love a letter from you.  If not, I hope you're able to find another in need. I 'll talk to you later. Robert Robert Acuna
