Beautiful, you must read Living Justice though right afterwards, it is the book about the writing of the play.

If for no other reason than this, should the death penalty be eliminated. The writers of this play interviewed (in person and by phone) 60 (SIXTY!) people who had been on death row - all of whom were found innocent.

What kind of system do we have when the police and defense attorneys are looked upon more favorably for bringing in someone that didn‰ЫЄt do it than rather than no one at all?
One of the characters says #NotAllWhitePeople - but if you‰ЫЄre not doing anything to fix the problem, you may as well be lumped in with everyone else.
‰ЫПYou know, when you‰ЫЄre in prison, you can‰ЫЄt allow yourself to feel too much. So when you get out, you‰ЫЄve gotta practice. I had to practice a bunch to be human again.‰Ыќ
Good, god! Our justice system is broken.
But let‰ЫЄs end on a humorous quote:
‰ЫП‰Ы_‰ЫЄcause you know, I was very conservative‰Ы_and also very stupid.‰Ыќ

This was a short read, but definitely worth it. My only disappointment was that I wanted to know more! I would love to see this play! I would love to read a novel about these individuals in more depth! Their stories were heartbreaking but are worth being told!
