Wikicop20 + 186 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) An excellent BBC documentary (1987) about a death row inmate in Mississippi who is due to die in the gas chamber for killing a town marshal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05m5xb9 Talks to corrections officers, the convicted, other prisoners, the Superintendent of the penitentiary. Explores the issues of: - moral issues - race and fairness - time in prison - faith and death - carrying out a professional execution - the law It’s proper 80s with chain gangs etc. The convicted’s lawyer is British I think.
