As some readers of this blog know, one of the proudest moments in my life came when former California Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown (aka Governor-elect Jerry’s much-missed dad) asked me to co-author a book with him about the death penalty, Public Justice, Private Mercy: A Governor’s Education on Death Row (1989).
I was just sent a piece from The Huffington Post about what looks to be an important new film touching on that same subject.
Put together by a young director named Jacob Simas, the documentary is called Inside Story and has much to do with The San Quentin News--“the first newspaper in 20 years to be written by and for inmates and published inside a California prison.” Take a look at this video sample and let me know what you think in the Comments section below, or by writing to me at dickadler@mail.com.
