"With accountability, reflection, and grace, the coauthors recount the searing stories of their lives before prison and where things went wrong. They reveal their extraordinary efforts to grow and to build meaningful lives, even under a death sentence."

• Sister Helen Prejean, Dead Man Walking, from the Foreword

"Within these pages we are challenged to bear witness to the men who society has deemed unworthy of life. Read this book and remember we are here to walk each other home."

-Jennifer Thompson, Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption

"A career in public defense has helped me appreciate that the cruelty of America's criminal legal system is fueled by a narrative that demonizes the accused. Accepting this narrative allows us to treat others as if they are not human. The only antidote is to learn the stories of those impacted. Inside: Voices from Death Row does this in such a powerful way. It humanizes the people most condemned. It forces us to care about their well being. It pushes us to want to embody the grace they exhibit in their writing. It serves as a reminder that without room for redemption, mercy, and dignity there can be no 'justice' in what we call criminal justice."

-Jonathan Rapping, Gideon's Promise: A Public Defender Movement to Transform Criminal Justice
