In this set of forceful prison essays and talks, controversial Philadelphia journalist Abu-Jamal attacks the failings of the courts, capital punishment as a discriminatory, racist practice, and other outspoken political analysis. Written with a ball-point pen on Death Row, it dissects the ironies abounding in the US prison system. Mumia Abu-Jamal's composure, humour, and connection to the living world around him, represents an irrefutable victory over the corrections' system that has sought for two decades to isolate and silence him.'
"...far and away Abu-Jamal's defining work." - San Francisco Chronicle
