Description
In 12 years, Michelle Lyons witnessed nearly 300 executions.
First as a reporter and then as a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Michelle was a frequent visitor to Huntsville's Walls Unit, where she recorded and relayed the final moments of death row inmates' lives before they were put to death by the state.
Michelle was in the death chamber as some of the United States' most notorious criminals, including serial killers, child murderers and rapists, spoke their last words on earth, while a cocktail of lethal drugs surged through their veins.
Michelle supported the death penalty, before misgivings began to set in as the executions mounted. During her time in the prison system, and together with her dear friend and colleague, Larry Fitzgerald, she came to know and like some of the condemned men and women she saw die. She began to query the arbitrary nature of the death penalty and ask the question: do executions make victims of all of us?
An incredibly powerful and unique look at the complex story of capital punishment, as told by those whose lives have been shaped by it, Death Row: The Final Minutes is an important take on crime and punishment at a fascinating point in America's political history.

Amazing first hand account into death row!
It was a very eye opening and detailed look into how the justice system works inside death row.

Wonderfully Written
I loved the story and the insight it brought into a subject which is always controversial. This story has challenged my thoughts into a system that I was 100% against going into.

Misleading title.
The title of this book is very misleading. It makes one believe that it is about the Death Penalty, which has intrigued me for years. The book has some interesting Anecdotes but really no depth into the subject. The story is flooded with names of prisoners but the author does not go into too much depth. Also I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew there was so much about her personal life in it. I am not really interested in her tattoos lost loves or the grudges she has with the Texas criminal system. There are many repeated lines and ideas that are expressed over and over again. The author also seems a bit self righteous and frowns on ideas that might differ from hers. Also she did seem a bit xenophobic the way she discussed foreign reporters. The depth of the writing is just not there. I am glad it was a short read.
