In this stark and powerful book, Bruce Jackson and Diane Christian
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. In the
first section, ""Pictures,"" ninety-two photographs taken during
their fieldwork for the book and documentary film Death Row
illustrate life on cell block J in Ellis Unit of the Texas
Department of Corrections. The second section, ""Words,"" further
reveals the world of Death Row prisoners and offers an unflinching
commentary on the judicial system and the fates of the men they met
on the Row. The third section, ""Working,"" addresses profound
moral and ethical issues the authors have encountered throughout
their careers documenting the Row. Included in this enhanced ebook
edition is Jackson and Christian's 1979 documentary film, Death
Row.
