>i am not a good man, and i am not very educated
No one is good or educated before God, it is fine.
>i write to you from a prison. i am here for the rest of my life. i have committed bad acts including murder and rape. i am a violent man.
Everyone is a criminal before God.
>am i beyond redemption?
No.
>what should i do?
Repent from your sins and confess.
Repentance may be hard, especially in prison. If you have never confessed your crimes you should really do that.
A priest will have a proper conversation with you, better than anyone online ever could have.
>i have done horrible things that can never be repaired.
All of humanity has. Because of that our Lord, Jesus Christ, sacrificed himself on the cross.
This was an act that took away all of the sin of humanity, also of you.
He already paid the price for all of your crimes. You just have to accept him and repent.
>before i go i want to know exactly what to do to be saved. give me all the details i will need
You have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
There is nothing that you yourself could "do" to save you, you rely 100% on Jesus and his sacrifice as do all humans.
If you are not baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit you need to do that.
There the Holy Spirit, one part of trinity, will be bestowed upon you and you will be reborn.
If you truly believe and trust in Jesus, then you can be saved, all your sins forgiven and you will be spared from death. This is eternal life in heaven with God and the Saints.
