A man facing execution pens a letter full of truths.



Talks about if they refuse to work, they are put in isolation. How corporations are involved. How doing away with unions has let corporations use the prisoners as slaves. And many other facts about jail life, and of the corruption of for profit prisons.

Though I purposefully skipped reading Jasper's statement, I did read through the comments. I have to say to my fellow death penalty opponent friends: Keep up your fight. It is an honorable one. But do not use this man, Ray Jasper, as your spokesperson, as your example of why the death penalty should be abolished. The death penalty should be abolished because it is wrong to kill another human being.
