Riassunto

The story of the author’s 30-year career in Texas prisons, from his first night as a shotgun-wielding guard to the last man he accompanied to the death chamber, Willett remembers not just the big events of his career but the small ones that give prison life its texture. In measured but powerful prose, he describes the efficient actions of the “tie-down team”; the prisoner’s often meandering last words; and the way that he himself lifted his glasses from his nose to signal the executioner to start the IV flow.
