Description
A chilling catalogue of the men and women who have paid the ultimate price . . .
Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977, the Lone Star State has put nearly 400 prisoners to death - far more than any other. Texas Death Row is a remarkable compendium of these condemned men and women, which starkly reveals details of their crimes, sentencing, last meals and last words.
Macabre, unsettling and alarmingly compelling, Texas Death Row offers a disturbing glimpse behind the prison walls and into the grim realities of the execution chamber.
