Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.One man's personal story of wrongful conviction, and the almost unbelievable circumstances that brought him to solitary confinement and death row.

He endured the worst conditions the US has to offer and yet never gave up either his hope or his dignity.
