Essential, infuriating, and energizing words from one of our most important voices who's been unjustly languishing in prison for over 40 years. Live from Death Row goes into excruciating detail about the horrors of the American prison system with unmatched eloquence and some of the most compelling use of the English language one can read. This is unsurprising as Mumia is a master of the written word by trade and a guiding light in the struggle for freedom and justice by necessity

This collection of writings is remarkably relevant even 25 years after publication. Mumia is incredibly talented at conveying the intricacies of prison, racism, and society. He eloquently argued many of the hot topics of today's criminal justice discourse decades before they became part of mainstream discussions. I highly recommend this book both for it's accessibility, insight, and a view of how the prison industrial complex and criminal justice system has evolved over the last 30 years.
