Format:Hardcover
A very strong and moving narrative about the final moments of the condemned men and women, and the people who in one way or another are taking part in the execution process at Huntsville, Tx. Highly recommendable.

This is the kind of book that everyone should read, whatever their stance on or knowledge about the death penalty.
The book is essentially a biography of the former chaplain at the Walls unit in Texas. It doesn't deal with "day to day" life on death row, but gives a perspective on executions from the point of view of someone in the establishment. It's powerful and moving.

Book arrived in a couple of days, excellent service and delivery. The book is well worth buying to read about life on Death Row in US prisons. Very moving and thought provoking, an excellent read in all respects.
