Death Row
"I don't know when we will stop
murdering people, whether
randomly on the street, or systematically
in our death chambers.
The only way to prevent
continuation the suffering
and grief murder occasions is
to prevent murder.
I have worked with eighteen
people who have been
EXECUTED and five of those I'm
convinced
were innocent."
The words of Joe Ingle, said to be a 1988
Nobel Peace Prize nominee, from
Part 1
which looks at those who are
involved in the fight against
the death penalty.
"The guy I am convicted of killing
shot me three times
before I fired at him, when
I look back on life and think about it,
I wonder why those thirteen
people can decide if I live or
die. Society does not feel our
pain, the horror of knowing
the exact hour and day that
they will sit us in that chair and kill us.."
Mr. D.... one of the eleven
death row inmates interviewed
in Part 11
Part 3 interviews family members.
This thought provoking
collection provides much insight
on this controversi
issue. The United States stand
on the death penalty,
in light of US leadership in
human rights,
appears to be a contradiction
to the rest of the world.
The methods of execution are
sometimes extremely
painfully and not quick.
An overwhelming percentage of
those
on death row are impoverished
and
would not be there if they had
other resources besides desultory
and ineffective court appointed
counsel. These and other
important issues are poignantly
addressed.
