Conversations with Death Row
Description: Criminologists and Faculty interested in setting up a live conversation with a Death Row prisoner can reach out to journalist Tessie Castillo, editor of Crimson Letters: Voices from Death Row. Castillo and her four co-authors, who are serving death sentences in North Carolina, set up events whereby the co-authors call into classrooms, conferences and departments from prison to engage in rich Q&A discussions on a variety of themes, including capital punishment, wrongful conviction, restorative justice, solitary confinement, mental health in prison, criminal justice reform, and life on Death Row. This unique event offers the opportunity for audiences to engage with people directly impacted by the death penalty.
Location: Virtual
Event contact: To discuss an event with your group, email Tessie Castillo at tessie@tessiecastillo.com
