15. Live from Death Row
Author: by Mumia Abu-jamal
Published at: Harper Perennial (June 1, 1996)
ISBN: 978-0380727667
“An important book [that] takes us into the bowels of hell…. Abu-Jamal offers expert and well-reasoned commentary on the justice system…. His writings are dangerous.” Village Voice “Resonates with the moral force of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter From Birmingham Jail.” Boston Globe After twenty years on death row, Mumia Abu-Jamal has been released from his death sentence …
But not the conviction. This once prominent radio reporter was convicted for the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1982, after a trial many have criticized as profoundly biased. Live from Death Row is a collection of his prison writings-and impassioned yet unflinching account of the brutalities and humiliations of prison life, and a scathing indictment of racism and political bias in the American judicial system.
