Live from Death Row!

These are America’s condemned, who bear a stigma far worse than “prisoner.” These are America’s death row residents: men and women who walk the razor’s edge between half-life and certain death. --Mumia Abu-Jamal, Pennsylvania death row prisoner, from his book 'Live from Death Row'

Over 3,500 men and women sit on death row across this country. This national tour brings you their voices and their struggles.
Death sentences de-humanize the condemned, justifying the state-sponsored murder of the poor, the innocent and people of color. The voices of death row prisoners reach from behind the walls to share their stories of loss, injustice, struggle, and hope for an end to the death penalty. At a time when the national chorus against the death penalty continues to grow, join the call for a movement on the inside and outside.
