there are many things lindsay christmas would change about another inmate featured on lockup, but now it s too late for that. this is what my dad gave me before he was executed. someone he was good friends with in prison had made this for my dad to give to us, and my brother got one as well. and i believe this is made out of toilet paper, which is really neat. and it has the date at the bottom. december of 09. that s when my dad passed away. lindsay s dad was eric wrinkles, an inmate we met on death row during our shoots at indiana state prison. we were with him when the final appeal of his death sentence was denied. what are your thoughts about all this? first you re a little i mean, even though you expected it, it s a little bit of a surprise.
my mom looked more like this one before she passed away. lindsay s husband, blake, is a corrections officer at a florida state prison. they ve been married for six years. i never thought i m going to marry someone that works at a prison. it just turned out that way. just knowing things about prison life i guess helps me to know what my dad had to face every day. and this one was when he had first went to prison. how did you feel when you was in there? i was hurt and sad that my dad was in prison, but then i was angry because i felt alone. she thought about how her dad was in prison and the rough life she had. i would ask her about it and she would come out more and more, and she finally came out and told me the whole thing and i was hoping that i could help her through it. and this is me with my uncle
tommy when i was very little. makes me miss him. he was my favorite uncle. i always wish that i could have a normal life. during the 13 years wrinkles was on death row, lindsay had very little contact with him.
on the day before eric wrinkles was to be executed at indiana state prison, he received a visit from several relatives, including his son seth and his daughter lindsay, who at age 13 had witnessed wrinkles murder her mother. this never before seen video was shot by another family member. it was the first time in six years that lindsay had seen her father. i don t want there to be guilt of me not saying what i need to say. because after he s gone, he s gone. i can t go back and say neg anyg if i wanted to. and i thought and prayed about it for a long time, and i told my husband, this is what i need to do and make amends with my dad. even though you are in here, you have still done what you can do to live life to the fullest and help people. and that is i appreciate that. real remarkable, and for
that, i know you will go to heaven. it has been two years since that visit and wrinkles execution, but this is the first time that lindsay has watched the video, even though it had been in her possession the entire time. seeing my dad kiss me and hug me is weird. i couldn t remember the last time that it happened. december 10thth, 2009, with my kids, lindsay and seth. got about an hour or so left, and just want to tell them both i love them. i miss them. when i saw him, he apologized for everything. and that i think that s what i needed. hours before her father was executed, lindsay decided to
