Chapter 6

In the final chapter, we are exposed to a whole new side of beliefs that play a strong minority in the prison world. In this case, we are given a summary of the efforts and initiatives that defense attourney Brian Stevenson has worked on throughout his extensive career. The main thing he is concerned with is prisoner representation. He explains that many times, inmates responsible for serious crimes like murder are"victimized", and are given little chance to redeem themselves for the good people they actually are. Brian especially touches ground on people of the poor and the colored, who are surrounded by violence and crime every day. He critisizes the justice system by saying that "it's their identity, not their crime that puts them on the row." Bottom line, when a crime is commited, justice must be served. If a person meaningly takes the life of another, they should not be given a second chance to live their own with freedom.
