Albert "Ru-Al" Jones

My name is Albert Jones, but my friends call me “Ru-Al”. I’m from Compton, California. I was sentenced to death in Riverside County on September 20, 1996 for a crime I did not commit.

I’m an Author and have published 10 books thus far. My writings are about my story and about life on death row in San Quentin. Living on Death Row for 30 years, it took having a very strong supporting team of family and friends for me to accomplish so much in this evil maze. I have achieved great highs being a college graduate, artist, and an author of many books. I was able to do this under some very harsh conditions. With my strong Christian faith, I was able to stay positive, productive, and I'll soon walk out a free man.
