About this book

This much anticipated second edition of Robert Johnson's Death Work offers a frank and unsettling look at the consequences of the death penalty in the United States today. The author takes readers on a compelling step-by-step journey through the American execution process including interviews with prisoners who have spent years on death row, prison staff who guard the condemned, and the men who act as executioners.
