Death Row Welcomes You By Steven Hale AudioBook summary
In 2018, after nearly a decade’s hiatus, the state of Tennessee began executing death row inmates, bucking national trends that showed the death penalty in decline. In less than two years, the state put seven men to death. It was an execution spree unlike any seen in Tennessee since the 1940s, only brought to a halt by a global pandemic. Award-winning journalist Steven Hale was the leading reporter on these executions, covering them both locally for the Nashville Scene alt-weekly and nationally for The Appeal.
In Death Row Welcomes You, Hale traces the lives of condemned prisoners at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution-and the people who come to visit them. What brought them-the visitors and convicted murderers alike-to death row? The visitors are, for the most part, not activists-or at least they did not start out that way. Nor are they the sort of killer-obsessed death row groupies such settings sometimes attract. In fact, in most cases they are average people whose lives, not to mention their views on the death penalty, were turned upside down by a face-to-face meeting with a death row prisoner.
