Was an infuriating read. Appreciated the balance between Ray’s story/personal anecdotes and facts about the prison system/death row. Felt a little repetitive at times about how Ray was feeling but also just puts the emphasis on how you would feel stuck somewhere for 30 years.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand the effects of systemic racism and/or classism on the US criminal justice system. Hinton's story is eye-opening, and the book is very well-written.
