He spent several years on death row at Angola before his sentence was commuted to life, where, as editor of the prison newsmagazine \u003ci\u003eThe Angolite\u003c\/i\u003e, he undertook a mission to expose and reform Louisiana's iniquitous justice system from the inside. Vivid, incisive, and compassionate, this is a detailed account of prison life and a man who accepted responsibility for his actions and worked to redeem himself. It is a story about not giving up; finding love in unexpected places; the power of kindness; and the ability to do good, no matter where you are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307277305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.91h x 5.41w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2011 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wilbert Rideau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085466562741,"sku":"9780307277305","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fdab6e8f-d4c2-4a7f-9aa9-7426b6201e2b.jpg?v=1765294243","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-place-of-justice-a-story-of-punishment-and-redemption-9780307277305","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
