Finding Life on Death Row: Profiles of Six Inmates

Rating:
Summary: strong stuff
Review: Anyone who begins this book with ambivalent feelings concerning the ethical wisdom of the death penalty will not finish it with those reservations. I began the book with no strong convictions on the issue of the death penalty and ended it ashamed that our nation continues to condone such barbarity.
