Quintin Jones, on Texas Death Row, has answered some questions for the next page of the blog Dude on Death Row. I believe his answers highlight his need to nurture and heal the world whilst desperately struggling to maintain what he can of his life...
If the prison made a mistake and told you, you were free to go, what would you do?
Leave and leave the country before they realised their mistake! (smile)
If you could fly like a bird, where would you go and why?
I'd go to Fort Worth to see how my nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews look and are living since I haven't seen them in Lord knows how long. And I'd do it that way so they wouldn't know it was me and feel like they've gotta pretend and act a certain way for me.
What is your favourite smell/scent and what does it remind you of?
I like the smell of barbecue because it reminds me of the summertime and spending time outdoors with family and friends.
Which football team do you support?
Dallas Cowboys of course!
Which era would you have liked to have grown up in?
I'd say the Civil Rights Era, in order to be able to really appreciate the freedom that I had growing up as a black man in America.
If you were a scientist, what would you most like to discover?
The cure for AIDS and all forms of cancer. Oh and the cure for Autism too.
If you had a super power, what would it be?
The power to heal the sick and absorb all types of disease and pain that others suffer.
Who do you like more, Denzel Washington or Will Smith and why?
Huh, what kind of question is this? (haha) so I'ma just say both because they are both good in their own right.
If you were dehydrated in a desert that had nothing to drink, would you drink your own urine to survive?
Haha you are crazy! But I'd have to say yes, but I'd probably never tell anybody unless I could sell my story for a movie deal or something. (smile)
What is your favourite word?
It was 'cuzzy' but not it's out of, ' get the f- out of here' (yeah I know that that's a saying not a word) and 'what?!' Like if you say something crazy or unbelievable then I'd say, 'What?! Get the F- out of here!' (smile)
If you'd like to ask Quintin a question please post in the comments box and I'll be sure to ask him in my next letter.
