From a single ancient typewriter that frequently breaks down,
Alabama's death row inmates have literally cut and pasted together
a newsletter, "On Wings of Hope" for the last three decades. This
newsletter, a labor of love, documents the decades of work, wisdom,
activism, and lived experiences of these prisoners. The writings
display, alternately, the humanity, suffering, remorse,
indignation, and most importantly, political agency of those who
have been executed, or are scheduled to be executed, by the state
of Alabama. These writings have never been available to the broader
public until now. Ghosts Over the Boiler is an anthology of poetry,
visual art, essays, and other creative writings that have emerged
from Alabama's death row from the organization Project Hope to
Abolish the Death Penalty (PHADP). This group was founded by
inmates in Holman Prison and has been operating autonomously since
1989. PHADP, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2022, is a
resident-generated self-advocacy group that works toward the
abolition of the death penalty in Alabama and the nation.
