Hinton's memoir tells his dramatic thirty-year journey and shows how you can take away a man's freedom, but you can't take away his imagination, humor, or joy. With the help of civil rights attorney and author Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon, transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty-four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence, full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. Stunned, confused, and only twenty-nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free.
