Within These Walls: Memoirs of a Death House Chaplain by Carroll Pickett, Carlton Stowers
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.2MB
Overview: This is the powerful memoir of Rev. Carroll Pickett, who spent fifteen years as the death house chaplain at “The Walls”, the Huntsville unit of the Texas prison system. In that capacity Rev. Pickett ministered to 95 men before they were put to death. They came with sinister nicknames like “The Candy Man” and “The Good Samaritan Killer”, some contrite, some angry–a few who might even have been innocent. All of them found in Rev. Pickett their last chance for an unbiased confessor who would look at them only as fellow humans, not simply as the convicted criminals the rest of society had already dismissed them as.
This first-hand experience gave Rev. Pickett the unique insight needed to write an impassioned statement on the realities of capital punishment in America. The result is a thought-provoking and compelling book that takes the reader inside the criminal mind, inside the execution chamber, and inside the heart of a remarkable man who shares his thoughts and observations not only about capital punishment, but about the dark world of prison society.
