Bone Orchard Reflections on Life Under Sentence of Death

George T. Wilkerson and Robert Johnson have produced a book of great authenticity and enormous implications for our understanding of the death penalty.The human costs of the death penalty are on full display in this masterwork of poetry and prose, offering views from death row and the death house offered by a condemned prisoner (Wilkerson) and an expert on the death penalty (Johnson). Wilkerson and Johnson, separately and together, bear witness to the modern atrocity that is the death penalty.
