- Used Book in Good Condition
A timely and urgent look at the hidden details of capital punishment. Brian D. Price, a former inmate assigned to the infamous Walls Unit in Huntsville, Texas, prepared almost 200 last meals for the condemned. During his 10-year tenure as death row chef, Brian saw and heard what only a person in his position could be privy to. Now, he sheds light on the shadowy details of these dramatically-structured events, as well as the crimes that set these executions in motion--including the most infamous case of Karla Faye Tucker, denied stay by then Governor George W. Bush. Includes: * over 40 recipes * 200 mugshots, bios and crime accounts * hand-written last meal requests * a detailed look at 1997, the record-breaking year for executions in the state of Texas
