"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.
