Richard Rackliffe

Hi, my name is Richard G. Rackliffe, I am 75 years old, 5’7 ½ tall, I have gray hair and hazel eyes. I was born on April 18th, 1945.

I am bisexual, I am a Native American and English descent.

I am serving a 2nd Degree Murder Life Sentence. I killed a man in West Springfield, Massachusetts. I see the Parole Board in June of 2023.

I sing and play Country music, old Rock and Roll, and Gospel music. I came to prison in 1977 when I was 31 years old. For several years before that, I sang on what was called the Musician’s Circuit all up and down the East Coast. I also raced United Stock Car Racing Club, races off and on on weekends. I have several trades, such as oil burner service and auto mechanic.

I’ve been married 3 times and I have several kids who, because of my time in prison, have nothing to do with me. I do not blame them and I understand why.

I am looking for someone with the same interests and with an open mind. I love to write and I will answer any and all questions you may have for me or my crime. I like to read letters and to figure out ways to help people.

I am a member of the Wiccan Church. I am at present a solitary practicing male witch. I am a 4th degree High Priest.

Well, if you want to let off steam about anything or just to say hello, all you have to do is write back immediately.

Until we meet on paper, your new pen pal awaits your letter. My friends call me Rick, so all who write can call me Rick too.

PS: I really get lonely in here, meeting new friends is nice.
