-
- Relationships
Author of 'Crossing the River Styx - Memoirs of a Death Row Chaplain,' Russ Ford shares his experience of accompanying those condemned to die in their final years, months and earthly moments. This is a story of unlikely redemption in the face of self-righteous carnage and fear, a story of humility and courage. It is also a powerful testament to the institutionalized savagery of the death penalty as enacted in the state of Virginia, the first southern state to abolish the death penalty in 2021. Yet some want it back... here and elsewhere too. Russ's testament is a record and a guide to why this must never happen.
