Steve Champion NOW Adisa Kamara




My name is Steve Champion ( now Adisa Kamara)

I am on Death Row at San Quentin State Prison. I have been incarcerated for 28 yearsa. I am a former Crips gang-member, who grew up in South Central Los Angeles.

I am a self taught and conversant in African history, philosophy, political science and spiritual things.

As a writer and author I have received honory mention in short fiction category in the 1995 Pen Prison Writing Contest and in 2004 won first place in Nonfiction for my essay,:” His spirit lives on: George E. Marshall”

I am co-author of  “Afterlife” a Death Row anthology published in 2003, and I have poetry featured in the book “Voices from the Inside”.

In 2007, I was co-author of the book, “The sacred eye of the falcon” which can be purchased on Lulu.com. I am currently working on my Memoire.

At times, I wrestle with the walking nihilism that engulfs the world, the sheer weight of my incarceration, and the deep despair of human condition swallows me. What I seek are not superficial nor ephemeral acquaintance, but an intimate and soulful connection. Someone who can express herself without fear and willing to explore shadows – the hidden aera of where forbidden feelings are hidden.

If you yearn for uncensored conversation and are prepared to be “loyal” to our communication I can be reached at:
