ABOUT THIS SESSION

Death row is a world few people ever see up close. Greg Laird draws on more than one hundred visits to Oklahoma’s death row to share what life is really like for inmates, how attorneys interact with their clients, and the human realities behind the justice system. This session offers writers rare insight into the emotional weight, routines, and contradictions that define life at the end of the legal process.
