How to balance justice, and redemption. Punishment, and opportunity. Those are just two of the ethics-balancing questions raised in a new book co-written by a man on death row in North Carolina.
It's called Rap and Redemption on Death Row.
A conversation with the author, about his life, his decisions, and his new rap album. And with his collaborator on how the two men became friends.
