Brutally honest, five eye-opening first-person accounts, raw and uncensored, transport readers inside American prisons and the lives of inmates sentenced to death as teenagers.
The author of this award-winning book sets context for the boy’s stories, and the book ends with an interview with the executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, who raises issues like mandatory sentencing, trying juveniles as adults, convict leasing, and over-prosecuting people of color.
“This powerful book should be explored and discussed in high schools all across our country.”
—School Library Journal, starred review“A searing and provocative account that will touch teens’ most fundamental beliefs and questions about violence, punishment, our legal and prison systems, and human rights”
