“We are bodies of broken bones. I guess I‘d always known but never fully considered that being broken is what makes us human. We all have our reasons. Sometimes we‘re fractured by the choices we make; sometimes we‘re shattered by things we would never have chosen. But our brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing.”

Capital punishment means them without the capital get the punishment.

In debates around the death penalty, I had started arguing that we would never think it was humane to pay someone to rape people convicted of rape or assault and abuse someone guilty of assault or abuse. Yet we were comfortable killing people who kill, in part because we think we can do it in a manner that doesn‘t implicate our own humanity, the way that raping or abusing someone would. I couldn‘t stop thinking that we don‘t spend much time⬇️

I had seen the movie and was a little familiar with the authors story. It was good to read this and get more of the story and more details. The Equal Justice Initiative does amazing and much needed work. Thankful for the work they are doing.

Joe spends a month in Texas, visiting his brother in prison, death row, before the scheduled execution date. Told in verse, this is an amazing and gut-wrenching story about family, forgiveness, and fortitude.
