In this stark and powerful illustrated presentation, the authors explore life on Death Row in Texas and in other states, as well as the convoluted and arbitrary judicial processes that populate all Death Rows. They document the capriciousness of capital punishment and capture the day-to-day experiences of Death Row inmates in the official “nonperiod” between sentencing and execution.
Bruce Jackson is the James Agee Professor of American Culture and SUNY Distinguished Professor of English at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Diane Christian is a poet and scholar.
