Redemption
On NPR’s Morning Edition, Lawrence Wright spoke with Steve Inskeep about Redemption: Faith, Justice, and Sisterhood on Death Row. Wright describes how the nuns taught the women monastic practices for living in community, how his research led him to believe some of the women don’t belong on death row, and why he finds “something grotesque” about executing people decades after they’ve been transformed.
