Death Row is a film about daily life on Death Row in Texas. The film was made in March 1979, and Bruce Jackson and Diane Christian also did a companion book of the same name. The book has longer conversations with the men who speak in the film. I am looking for this book.

How many of us know of that feeling? I am not an advocate against death for prisoners. I am only very fearful of losing freedom, under whichever circumstance. And that fear is as powerful as life and freedom itself, enough for me wear their skins and taste the crazy fear and colorless loneliness. There are photos of the men in the book, but I don’t want to include their gaze here. Objects and echoes are enough.

Like I said, I am not an advocate against death for prisoners. My first emotion is always they must deserve it. It is these negating forces that keep staring and listening to these photos.
