Winner, Best General Interest Book for 2001, Association of Theological Booksellers Between 1980 and 2000, the number of prisoners in the U.S. has tripled to over 2 million people, 70 percent of them people of color. Indeed, by 2000, 3,600 people were on America's death rows. This growth industry currently employs 523,000 people. Among abuses that Mark Taylor notes in this "theater of terror" are capital punishment, inordinate sentencing, violations of fairness in both process and results, racism in the justice system and prisons, prison rape and other terrorizing techniques, and paramilitary policing practices. With twenty-five years of involvement with prison reform, Taylor passionately describes and explains the excesses and injustices in our corrections system and capital punishment to foster compassionate and effective Christian action. His book convincingly relates the life-engendering power of God - demonstrated in Jesus' cross and resurrection - to the potential transformation of the systems of death and imprisonment.

A visionary and modern-day prophet, Mark Lewis Taylor's writing is thought provoking. His amazing insight into the problematic solutions to society's ills that are offered by the state necessitate the revisiting of one's own stand on the issues of capital punishment and the deeply flawed prison system. The surgical precision of Taylor's words and his indictments against our complicity with the machinations of the system cut to the quick, liberating us to speak and act in a manner that is consistent with life! His other works are a must read!
